Although we have a Hensley TrailerSaver hitch, I found this conversation very interesting. Glad the OP got it figured out. There are similarities in that the TS requires the handle of the head to be in a certain position when hitching. Upon hitching you will know it because the jaws will be visibly clamped and the handle will be in the locked position. If neither is done, it won't hitch correctly. Also, we found that if our Teflon plate is warped, it won't lock, so we keep spares. Thanks for the information.
FYI if you did not know Hensley makes a 1/8" slip plate. I use one on my B&W. It makes it easier to tell when the weight has been removed so the handle can be opened and drive off.
