When connecting the trailer to your tow vehicle use the
following procedure:
1.Raise the tongue with the trailer jack, position the trailer
tongue directly over the 2" ball, and lower the jack until
the tongue goes all the way down over the ball.
2.Press down on the latch until it locks on the ball with a
“click.”
NOTICE: If your hitch ball has an excessive flat spot on
top, the latch may not engage properly. If the latch
does not catch, check with your dealer or hitch installer
before trailering.
3.Insert the locking pin into the tongue. (Lock pin hole is on
the side of the tongue)
4.When all weight is off the trailer jack, pull the jack lock
pin and rotate the jack to the horizontal position and lock
the pin.
5.Attach the safety chains to the tow vehicle hitch. Cross
the chains and wrap them around each other once or
possibly twice allowing just enough slack to permit tight
turns of the vehicle and trailer.
6.Connect the trailer light plug to the tow vehicle connection
to activate the lights.
7.Connect the brake safety cable.

Trailer & Towing
NOTE: Supra trailers feature disk brakes. The 5th wire
(blue) on the wire connector needs to be connected to
your vehicle’s reverse lights to be operative. This wire
(blue) provides power to a solenoid which deactivates
the brakes while in reverse. You may still tow your
trailer without the blue wire connected, however, you
may experience difficulty backing the trailer.

Connecting the Trailer
The trailer supplied with your Supra was designed especially
for the boat with your convenience in mind. Please be sure
that you have an appropriate tow vehicle before attempting
to trailer your boat. Your vehicle must be capable of towing
5,000 lbs. and must be fitted with no less than a Class III
(5,000 lb. max.) trailer hitch.
Read the trailer towing section of your vehicle owner’s
manual before towing your trailer.
All Supra trailers require a 2” ball and a five (5) pin marine
grade trailer wiring connector. The standard height from
the ground to the top of the hitch ball should be about 20
inches. With the trailer attached to the tow vehicle, the
trailer should stand approximately level.
