his recommendation before purchasing a trailer hitch for

NOTICE
DO NOT use a bent or damaged tongue or cou-

through a Four Winns® dealer.
The trailer tongue is hinged on our painted trailers and
removable on our galvanized trailers.   This allows for
easier storage.  The tongue is attached with two clevis
pins with locking hair pins to the trailer frame. Refer to
Figure S2.
To help guard against a sudden failure while in
use, do not use a worn hitch ball.  Replace
all worn or damaged parts.
