The boom lift trailer is a single axle trailer fitted with a two-inch ball hitch, surge brakes, 
breakaway safety cable, safety chains, brake lights, and side marker lights. Proper boom 
lift transport requires the correct hookup and inspection of these trailer components 
before towing.  Use the following procedures to hitch, tow, and back the boom lift trailer: 

Trailer hitching requires a second person to give tow vehicle backing instructions. 

1.  Back the tow vehicle to the trailer. Verify that the ball and hitch are in line and 

that the trailer hitch will clear the ball. Jack up the tongue as needed. 

2.  Align the ball and hitch. Wrap and fasten the breakaway safety cable around the 

ball hitch (Figure 3-8).

3.  Hold ball hitch release lever open and lower the hitch onto the ball. Let go of the 

release lever to secure the ball. 

4.  Crank the jack down to check for secure coupling. If jacking will raise the tow 

vehicle bumper two or three inches, the ball hitch coupling is secure.  

5.  Pull the pin keeper and pivot locking pin, raise the jack to the travel position as 

shown in Figure 3-9, and reinstall the pivot locking pin and pin keeper.
