BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Clean all residue of grease from both the ball and the hitch socket on the trailer. Feel inside the hitch socket of the trailer for any rough spots or burrs. They must be sanded and cleaned up before installation of BALL HITCH SHIELD™. Inspect the ball for wear of the chrome finish, if it is worn off you must replace the ball with a new one. These two previous steps are critical to the lifespan of your BALL HITCH SHIELD™.

INSTALL BALL HITCH SHIELD™
After taking the previous steps you are ready to install the BALL HITCH SHIELD™. The smaller tabs of the BALL HITCH SHIELD™ should face the back of the hitch, the trailer side where the lock is. The larger tab is forward on the vehicle side of the hitch. Tuck up inside the hitch. Now you are ready to hook up. If necessary after the weight of the trailer is down: You may need to nudge it forward to make sure the ball is forward to lock trailer with a tap using a rubber mallet.
