Note:

SWAY CONTROL BALL (13)

Most weight distributing ball mounts come equipped with a sway control ball

plate attached. If so, attach the Sway Control Ball (13) to the vehicle’s ball mount

using the hole provided. If no sway control ball hole is provided, weld the Sway

Control Ball Mount Bar (10) to the vehicle’s ball mount.

(See Figure A and Assy. Diagram Page 10)

Measure 24” straight back from the center of the coupler to the right hand side of

the trailer frame to determine the location of the Mounting Plate (1). The Trailer

Tongue Ball (3) must be centered on the 24” measurement. NOTE: If installment

on the left side of the trailer is desired, measure 24” straight back from the center

of the coupler to the left hand side of the trailer frame to determine the location of

the Mounting Plate (1). (See Figure B and C on page 7, and Assy. Diagram)

Use the mounting holes in the Mounting Plate (1) as a template with which to drill

eight 11/32” diameter holes in the trailer frame.

If the marked holes cannot be drilled properly, then the Trailer Tongue Ball

must be welded directly onto the side of the trailer.

Otherwise, attach the Mounting Plate (1) and Trailer Tongue Ball (3) to the

trailer frame, using the eight self-tapping Screws (2) provided.

WARNING! Make sure all welds are strong and capable of holding the tension placed

on them by the Sway Control unit before going on to the next step.
