nuts (If you must use a 1” shank ball, use bushing 58184 (B) to reduce hole size in ballmount (G) to 1”). Always use a
lock washer and place washer next to nut. Unless otherwise specified by ball manufacturer torque ball nut to 450 ft/lbs
for 1-1/4" nut, 250 ft/lbs for 1" nut.
2. Install longer 3/4” bolt (J) with two serrated washers (E) as shown. Install lock washer (L) and nut (K), but allow space
for washers to be positioned and aligned. Align the washers as shown, hold in position, and tighten nut. Torque the
two nuts (K) to 300 ft/lbs. If proper torque wrench is not available, torque nuts to 150 ft/lbs then turn nuts an additional
1/4 turn. Do not lubricate the threads.
3. •Install the ½” self tapping screw into the hole in the
bracket and frame. Tighten it to 50 ft/lbs.
•Re-tighten the ½” set screw on the inside of the frame.
Turn only ¼ to ½ of a turn after making contact with the
frame.
