-- Insert the ball head into the mount.

After the ball head is installed, the green marking on the hand wheel must match up with the white mark on the ball head. The hand wheel must make complete contact. The trailer hitch lock must lock when the key is removed. If this does not happen, perform the following repair.

If it is necessary to service the ball head, discuss this first with the customer. Servicing the ball head has a separate charge.
