1. Put wheel chocks (not supplied) against the front and
back of each wheel on both sides of the light tower
trailer.
2. Make sure that the trailer tongue is lowered and locked in
the towing position. See Trailer Tongue.
3. Find out whether the towing vehicle has a ball hitch or
a pintle hitch. Reverse the trailer hitch bar if needed.
See Using the Trailer Coupler / Lunette Eye.
Note: Reversible trailer hitch bar is optional on some models.
See Using the Trailer Coupler / Lunette Eye.
4. Use the tongue jack to lift the trailer coupler or lunette

is under the trailer coupler or lunette eye.

or pintle hook with the tongue jack.

tow vehicle lighting connector. Make sure that the trailer
lighting harness has sufficient length to not disconnect

turn signal, tail, side marker and license plate lights for
correct operation.
