Getting Started

Ok, the first thing you need to know is that I am not mechanical at all.  This was documented in one of my first pages I created on paulforsberg.com called "If Your Tools Are Yellow."

So, I called my father-in-law, Andy to help me.  Or, more correctly, effectively install the hitch while I fetched him a beer or turned a wrench or two.

Oh, can you just feel the power. 

I was sporting wood just looking at this thing !

Step #1 - Read The Instructions - as my father-in-law, Andy, clearly illustrates

The instructions are very well documented - although some of the pictures appear to be slightly out of order.

It will later be permanently mounted into the trailer.

You then have to latch it to the hitch post.

This is not the technically correct term, but this is not designed to be the installation manual.
