hitch. Both must meet or exceed the GVWR of the light
tower trailer.
Note: Check the vehicle owner's manual and hitch owner's
manual for rated towing capacities.

• Using a tow vehicle or hitch with a rated towing capacity
less than the GVWR of the light tower trailer could
result in death or serious injury. Use only a tow vehicle
and hitch with a rated towing capacity that meets or
exceeds the GVWR of the light tower trailer.
Check the tow vehicle hitch type
The light tower trailer is designed for the following types of
available tow vehicle hitches:
• 2" ball hitch
• Pintle hitch
• 2-5/16" ball hitch
• 2" Bulldog hitch
Be sure the tow vehicle is equipped with either of these hitch
types. Install if needed.

• Failure to use a tow vehicle hitch that mates with the
trailer hitch assembly could result in death or serious
injury. Use only a tow vehicle hitch that mates with the
trailer hitch assembly.

(A, Figure 4) for ball hitches, or the lunette ring (B) for pintle
hitches. To reverse the trailer hitch assembly:
1. Remove the mounting hardware (C, Figure 4).
2. Reverse the trailer hitch assembly.
Note: Use the set of mounting holes in the trailer tongue that
will keep the trailer as level as possible when connected to
the tow vehicle.
