Using the CURT Switch Ball trailer ball set is a breeze. First, check which ball size you need based on your trailer's coupler. If you need to change the ball, just twist the switchball head, lift it off, and then twist on the other ball. It's as simple as that, no tools required. When using it, always make sure the ball is securely attached to the shank. Before towing, double - check the ball's capacity against your trailer's weight to ensure safety. As for maintenance, keep the balls and shank clean. The nickel - chrome finish helps protect against rust, but it's a good idea to wipe them down after each use. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, like chips in the finish or cracks in the ball, replace the parts as soon as possible. Remember, the set comes with a limited lifetime warranty, but for the finish and parts, it's one - year. So take good care of your CURT Switch Ball set to get the most out of it.
