pullrite capture plate

Not sure on this but here goes. The capture plate for the super glide attaches to the pinbox of 5th, there is an allen screw and a locking threaded nut. The allen screw is simple enough, but the locking nut can be locked either direction...toward the kingpin or toward the wedge. I have been unable to fine any instructions on this. When the dealer installed the capture plate, shortly after when I was unloading the 5th, the capture plate fell off into the truck box, and now the same thing has happened a 2nd time. Do any of you have experience with installing a capture plate on model #2700 SuperGlide?

I would appreciate any guidance on this.
Thank you kindly

    Mine has the lock nut to the rear of the lip of the capture plate.

    Mine did the same thing several times, I just keep an allen wrench and use a pin lock so it can't walk off

    Thank you for your replies..... my model is a #2700 .... but looks totally different than the picture posted. I have also read all through the manual with no directions, so I will contact pullrite on Tuesday if no other poster has seen this before.

    Thanks again

    The pictures I posted are what they call a "quick connect capture plate" made specifically for my model of pin box. There are also "multi fit" and "universal" fit capture plates. Maybe you have a universal.

    Yes thank you, I missed that part the 1st time around. It is a 3365 capture plate, and the instructions say to tighten the set screw nut up to the wedge, which is the way I have been installing this.

    I am enquiring on this because it has fallen off twice as I mentioned, but also lately there is this crazy squeak noise coming from the hitch I think....as I drive. Difficult to pinpoint when driving. Have any of you heard this from your super glide?

    I have the jam nut on the outside edge of the capture plate. I tighten the bolt, then jam the nut against the plate to keep the bolt tight. In 2 years it has never come lose or needed to be tightened further.
