Step by Step

To Install Pintle Sleeve:
First, remove manual safety pin. Next, pull out silver knob on lower, left-hand side of unit while lifting up on handle - this will disengage the pintle lock. Place the pintle sleeve over the ball shank. Now that both locks have been unlatched, you can rotate handle to a position directly above the pintle sleeve. Release silver knob, and handle's spring-loaded lock will snap down on sleeve, automatically engaging. Re-insert safety pin for extra security, and you're set to go.

To Remove Pintle Sleeve:
Remove safety pin, pull out silver knob and lift pintle handle while rotating it 90 degrees to the side. The handle will automatically snap into place in "self-parked" position. Last, remove sleeve and re-insert safety pin.

To Install Hitch Ball:
Remove the manual safety pin, move pintle handle to "self-park" position and double-check that it is fully engaged. Note: Do not try to latch the handle when using a ball coupler because this will interfere with and possibly damage the ball mount and coupler.

After re-installing safety pin, choose appropriate ball size. Locate dimple on ball's side and push integrated pin completely through ball. Place ball on ball mount shank, line up pin with shank hole, and push pin back through. Coupler will completely cover ball during travel, ensuring that pin cannot work loose. To remove, simply reverse the process.

Polyurethane Cushioning

Convert-a-ball mounts are designed with a polyurethane interior which works to cushion the ball mount. Functioning like a shock absorber, the polyurethane cushioning works to reduce bouncing and vibrations. This cushioning reduces the stress on the mount that often comes as a result of trailer towing. Encased in steel, this design feature enhnaces the durability of your vehicle's drveline, hitch assembly, and trailer contents.

This Convert-A-Ball ball mount meets or exceeds THMAV-5 ratings in all categories and meets SAE standard J-684.
