Combination Bulldog Coupler and
Lunette Eye
The heater trailer has a reversible combination 2" bulldog
coupler and 3" lunette eye. See Specifications for the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) for each.
To change between the bulldog coupler and lunette eye:
1. Inspect the tongue, bulldog coupler and lunette eye
for missing or damaged parts. Replace any part that is
missing or damaged.
2. Remove the two lock nuts (B, Figure 8) and hex head
bolts (A) fastening the combination bulldog coupler and
lunette eye to the heater trailer tongue. Discard the lock
nuts.
3. Turn the combination bulldog coupler and lunette eye to
match the trailer hitch on the tow vehicle.
4. Fasten the combination bulldog coupler and lunette eye
to the heater trailer tongue with the two hex head bolts
removed in Step 2 and two new lock nuts. Use the set of
mounting holes (C or D, Figure 8) that will work best for
your tow vehicle. Tighten the lock nuts.
WARNING
Use new lock nuts to fasten the combination bulldog coupler
and lunette eye to the heater trailer tongue. Failure to do so
could result in death or serious injury.

Connect the Heater Trailer to the Tow
Vehicle
1. Put wheel chocks against the front and rear of the wheels
on both sides of the heater trailer.
2. Use the tongue jack to lift the bulldog coupler or lunette
eye above the hitch ball or pintle hook on the tow vehicle.
See Use the Tongue Jack.
3. Move the tow vehicle so that the hitch ball or pintle hook
is below the bulldog coupler or lunette eye.
4. Use the tongue jack to lower the bulldog coupler or
lunette eye onto the hitch ball or pintle hook.
5. Lock the bulldog coupler or pintle hook. See Use the
Bulldog Coupler or Use a Pintle Hook.
6. Attach the safety chains (A, Figure 9) to the hitch frame
on the tow vehicle. Make sure that the chains cross each
other below the trailer tongue. Adjust the length of the
chains so that they do not touch the ground, but so that
the tow vehicle can turn freely.
7. Connect the lighting harness from the heater trailer to
the harness on the tow vehicle (B, Figure 9). Make sure
that the harness has enough length so that it does not
disconnect when turning, but does not touch the ground.
8. Connect the cable from the break-away brake switch to
the tow vehicle. See Break-Away Brake System.
9. Retract the tongue jack fully, and move it into the
transport position. See Use the Tongue Jack.
