I have an EAZ lift and have always lowered the tongue onto the ball just slightly to create some pressure on the tv and have then slipped the 3rd link on the chain onto the tongue and used the bar to pull the mechanism tight on each side. Then I finish dropping all of the pressure down on the tv. Is this ok or would it be best to put all the pressure on the tv first and then engage the bars? Or does it just not matter? Thanks!
There must be a whole lot of tension on those chains and spring bars if you're doing it that way. If your hand slips that cheater becomes a dangerous projectile.
Lower the trailer onto the hitch ball. Lock the hitch head. Raise trailer and truck as one and then hook the chains. If I raise it high enough I do it by hand without using the cheater. I have an electric jack so it's much easier.
