北米Model "A2630BE-A" EDITED: 2022/ 12/ 23
1 Hitch ball installation point
2 Hooks for safety chains
5. Use only a hitch ball that is appropriate
for the ball mount and your trailer. The
hitch ball must be securely installed on
the ball mount.
6. Connect your trailer to the hitch ball.
7. Connect the trailer and the hitch with
safety chains that will hold the trailer’s
maximum gross weight. In case the
trailer hitch connector or hitch ball
should break or become disconnected,
the trailer could get loose and create a
traffic safety hazard. For safety, always
connect the towing vehicle and trailer
with trailer safety chains.
Two chains should be used in total, one
to the right side and the other to the left
side trailer tongue. Pass the chains
crossing each other under the trailer
tongue to prevent the trailer from
dropping onto the ground in case the
trailer tongue should disconnect from
the hitch ball. Allow sufficient slack in
the chains taking tight turn situations
into account; however, be careful not to
let them drag on the ground.
WARNING
. For safety, always connect the
towing vehicle and trailer with
safety chains.
. Do not connect safety chains to
any part of the vehicle other than
the safety chain hooks.
. Be sure to check the hitch pin and
safety pin for positive locking
placement before towing a trailer.
If the ball mount comes off the
hitch receiver, the trailer could
get loose and create a traffic
safety hazard.
Hitch harness connector
8. Connect the hitch wire harness’s black
four-pin wire connector to the towing
trailers wire harness.
9. Confirm proper function of the hitch
wire harness by individually activating
the brake, stop and turn signal lights on
the trailer.
NOTE
. A genuine SUBARU hitch is avail-
able from your SUBARU dealer.
. Always disconnect the trailer wire
harness before launching or retriev-
ing a watercraft.
