Installation Instructions
! WARNINGS
• Trailer brakes are required.
• Without proper information, towing can be dangerous. Understand all risks involved with towing before
starting. For more information on towing safety, see “The Trailer Handbook: A Guide to Understand
Trailer and Towing Safety” from the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers, www.NATM.com.
• Do not alter this product in any way. Modifying this product could change the integrity and lead to a loss of
connection between the trailer and the tow vehicle.
• Check that all bolted connections are at the correct torque specification on a regular basis. Complete a
visual inspection before towing each time.
• Before using hitch in tow or slider mode make sure that the quick release pin is in place.
• Ensure that installation is performed by someone who is aware of the risks and has knowledge of hazards
and proper safety procedures involved with adding components to the chassis of a vehicle and the tools
needed for installation.
• Make sure that the bed of the truck is clean of dirt and debris before starting installation.
• While moving the truck and trailer in the maneuvering position use extreme caution. Do not exceed 5 mph
while in the maneuvering position. Failure to follow speed limitations may lead to property damage, injury
or death.
• Do not tow while in the maneuvering position. This is only intended for parking maneuvers and using the
maneuvering position in any way other than intended may cause property damage, injury or death.
• While the vehicle is in motion do to hold or force the handle in any direction. Stand clear of the handle while
the slider is in operation. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
• Roughly 15-25% of the weight of the trailer should be on the hitch.
• Always insure the hitch ball is locked into the hitch prior to towing.
• Super Ride is not intended for use on a flat bed truck.

Maintenance/Care
• Periodically clean any dirt/debris from the hitch slots and jaws. Moderately lubricate them with
white lithium grease or equivalent grease.

NOTICE
• If a removable bed liner is installed, it should be removed or modified to allow the hitch to contact the bed
directly. Spray-in bed liners are permissible.
• Do not use any devices that change the king pin pivot point. The king pin should rotate in the hitch coupler
jaws.
• It is recommended to always check the clearances between the truck cab and trailer in both towing and ma-
neuvering positions. Measuring from the center of the coupler to the back of the cab and from the center of
the king pin to the corner of the trailer will show the available clearances. It is also recommended to check
clearances between the bed sides and underside of trailer to allow for any pitch of the trailer and that the
trailer is level as possible during towing.
• The gooseneck ball must be properly locked in position.
• Dealer or installer be certain the user receives these instruction sheets.
• If the hitch is in an accident, it must be replaced. DO NOT use it again! An accident can cause unseen
damage and using it again could result in more damage or serious injury. DO NOT use the hitch if it is dam-
aged or missing parts.

Important:
Use only genuine factory replacement parts on your hitch. Do NOT substitute homemade or non-typical parts. If a bolt is lost or in need of replacement,
for your safety and the preservation of your hitch, be sure to use a replacement bolt of the same grade (In most cases it will be Grade 5, please
reference the parts list above). Replacement parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox® Dealer or Distributor. Failing to follow and/or altering
these installation instructions in either installation or required equipment will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

NOTE: The plastic bed rib strips are intended for use where the Super Ride base and the trucks bed ribs may not
be in full contact with one another. They will provide additional surface area contact to the valleys of the bed ribs
when limited contact is available on the peaks as well as help prevent the hitch from turning in the bed. Lack of
use could cause damage to the truck bed. This is different with every truck manufacturer. The position of the bed
rib strips will be different with most truck manufacturers as well as the possibility of auxiliary connection points
protruding through the bed. (Example: puck systems) Slight modification to the bed rib strips may be necessary to
avoid some puck systems.
