Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Tow Tongue Receiver Lock
Step 1: Remove the Existing Hitch Pin
- Locate the existing hitch pin on your tow bar assembly. This pin holds the hitch tongue in place, securing your tow bar to the vehicle.
- Remove the old hitch pin by pulling it out. If necessary, twist the pin to loosen it before removal.
Step 2: Insert the Receiver Lock Pin
- Take the Tow Tongue Receiver Lock and insert it through the existing pin hole on your tow bar, where the old pin was previously located.
- Push the pin all the way through until it fits securely.
Step 3: Lock the Pin
- Once the pin is in place, take the lockable cap that comes with the receiver lock.
- Secure the cap onto the end of the lock by twisting it in place. You will hear a click when the lock is properly engaged.
- Use one of the two provided keys to lock the cap securely, ensuring the pin is locked into place.
Step 4: Attach the Dust Cap
- After locking the pin, place the rubber dust cap over the lock mechanism. This will protect the lock from dust, dirt, and moisture, keeping it in good working condition for long-term use.
Final Safety Checks
- Pull gently on the pin to ensure it’s locked securely and cannot be removed without the key.
- Inspect the dust cap to make sure it’s tightly fitted, protecting the lock from the elements.
