5. Telepítési útmutató
This section provides general guidelines for installing a CURT trailer hitch. Always refer to the specific installation instructions included with your product for detailed, vehicle-specific steps and torque specifications. Professional installation is recommended.
Általános telepítési lépések:
- Check Part Number: Verify the hitch part number against your vehicle's application guide to ensure compatibility.
- Inspect Vehicle: Examine the vehicle's frame for damage or corrosion at attachment points. Ensure the bumper is secure.
- Hardver rendszerezése: Lay out all provided fasteners and tools. Always use only the bolts, nuts, and washers supplied with the kit.
- A vonóhorog elhelyezése: Carefully position the hitch on the vehicle. Use jack stands or a second person to help hold it in place. Ensure the hitch is level and all attachment points align.
- Identify Attachment Holes: CURT hitches often utilize existing attachment holes in the vehicle's frame. If drilling is required, use the hitch as a template.
- Drill Attachment Holes (if required): If drilling is necessary, check for wires or fuel lines inside the frame sections. Use a center punch to mark, then drill starter holes, gradually increasing bit size. Use a cobalt drill bit with coolant/grease for hard steel frames.
- Attach the Hitch: Secure the hitch to the vehicle using the appropriate fasteners.
- Tighten and Torque: Tighten all bolts evenly with a hand wrench until snug. Then, use a torque wrench to tighten all fasteners to the proper torque specification as indicated in your specific installation instructions. Do not use excessive torque or an impact wrench.
- Replace Removed Parts: Reattach any vehicle components (e.g., exhaust system, spare tire, bumper fascia) that were temporarily removed during installation.

Once your CURT 13184 Class 3 Trailer Hitch is securely installed, you can begin towing. Always ensure that the trailer being towed, along with its cargo, does not exceed the lowest-rated towing component's capacity (vehicle, hitch, or ball mount). Properly connect your trailer to the 2-inch receiver using a compatible ball mount and hitch pin. Attach safety chains from the trailer to the designated chain loops on the hitch. Ensure all trailer lights are functional and properly connected to your vehicle's electrical system. Always perform a pre-trip inspection before towing.
