This is Diversi-Techs self-locking adjustable ball mount, part number DTALBM6825. Like other Diversi-Tech ball mounts, this one is made from aircraft-grade billet aluminum. It is designed for 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch trailer hitches and is rated for up to 10,000 pounds gross towing weight and up to 1,500 pounds tongue weight. It can be used in the rise position for 9 inches of rise or in the drop position for 8 inches of drop. It can be adjusted in 1 inch increments. The ball platform has two fixed balls, a larger 2-5/16 and a more common 2 inch. To attach the ball platform to our shank, we need to retract this pin. We will do that with the lock on the side of the platform. Turn the lock and the pin will retract and we can mount it on our shank. We can turn the key and the pin will extend and lock into the shank. You will know when the pin is secured because you will not be able to remove the key until it is seated all of the way. 1:24
Now our ball mount is ready for use. Built into the top is Diversi-Techs spring loaded stainless steel anti-rattle balls. These will help remove some of the play in between the ball mount and your hitch, keeping things more quite. It also features Diversi-Techs self-locking pin system. You do not need a separate pin and clip with this ball mount as it is already built in to the ball mount. To retract the pins, use the lock on the front and turn the lock. With the pins retracted, you can install or remove the ball mount. Once it is in your hitch, ready to go, turn the lock in the opposite direction and the pins will extend and lock it to the hitch. This is a great security feature because there is nothing sticking outside of the hitch for a potential thief to cut. It is also more convenient because you will not have to remember a separate pin and clip or locking hitch pin. And that does it for Diversi-Techs adjustable self-locking ball mount, part number DTALBM6825.
