SECTION 4: ATTACHING THE REMOTE LATCH CABLE BRACKET
NOTE: We suggest installing the remote latch
cable bracket at the back of the pin box brackets,
as shown right. If this location does not work on
your trailer, make sure that the latch cable bracket
is installed securely and that the cable and bracket
will not come in contact with the truck side rails.
4-1. Use a 5/16" socket to install the two self-tapping
screws provided.
IMPORTANT The remote latch cable bracket
±
should be installed so that the cable does not have
any sharp turns or kinks in it. This allows the cable
to operate correctly and prevents it from binding.
For best results, we suggest installing the latch
cable bracket on the opposite side of the pin box
from where the cable enters the coupler block. See
our installation video online for further information.
4-2. Once installed, test the cable to ensure that the
handle moves freely in and out. This will make sure
that the pin attached to the kingpin coupler block is
able to engage and disengage correctly.
Using the remote latch cable:
To engage, simply turn the handle to unlock it,
push the handle until it's all the way in and then turn
it fully in either direction to lock in place.
To disengage, turn the handle to unlock it, pull the
handle until it's all the way out and then turn it fully
in either direction to lock in place.
NOTE: Due to tight tolerances, if the trailer and
tow vehicle are angled too much in reference to
each other, the kingpin coupler block may not fully
seat on the ball. This applies to uncoupling the
kingpin coupler as well. If this occurs, the kingpin
coupler block may become 'stuck' on the ball.
To alleviate this problem, ensure that the truck
and trailer are somewhat level in reference to
each other. Raise the trailer up to clear the ball,
disconnect your wiring harnesses and any safety
cables and chains, then drive your truck out from
under the trailer.
