Specs:
To use the unit as a pintle hitch, simply slip the stainless steel pintle sleeve over the 1" diameter hitch ball shank. Once in place, the sleeve accepts the lunette ring on the trailer, and the handle comes over and locks in place to create a strong, reliable pintle hitch with a towing capacity of up to 10,000 lbs. Backed up by the security of a double-locking system, this pintle hook combo offers safety, versatility and performance for those towing with a lunette ring.
To use the unit as a ball hitch, simply slip any size Convert-A-Ball stainless steel hitch ball onto the ball shank after the pintle sleeve has been removed. As a ball hitch, the PH4 maintains its strong performance, with a towing capacity up to 10,000 lbs.
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.
