Mounting Instructions7. Mounting InstructionsNOTE: It is suggested that thisinstallation be performedwith two persons.1. Use a mounting structure of sufficientstrength to support the rated capacityof the pintle hook in accordance withSAE J849 and SAE J847 respectively.2. Check for either .75" (19.1 mm) or.375" (9.53 mm) mounting platethickness and follow appropriateinstructions according to the platethickness on the following pages.3. The bolt holes and mounting clearancearea are detailed in (Figure 1).4. This pintle hook system seals theflanges of the mounting structureusing square O-rings. The mountingstructure should be cleaned andprepared on the inboard and outboardmounting surfaces to properly acceptand function with O-ring seals.5. Ensure that all seals and felt washersare used, properly installed, and notdamaged during the install. If any of theseals or felt washers are damaged orlost during the install, refer to Section 10for replacement seal kit information.6. During disassembly retain all componentson a clean work surface to avoid anyscratching, denting, marring, or damageto the pintle hook shank coating,flange coating, and flange bushings.Figure 12.00"(50.8 mm)4.00"(101.6 mm)Figure 24.25"(108.0 mm)8.50"(215.9 mm)6.50"(165.1 mm) 2X Ø .78"(19.8 mm)Ø 1.88"(47.6 mm)NOTE: During disassembly the flangescan move and the seals maydislodge and need to bereseated by carefully pressingthem back into their correctgroove by hand prior to install.7. Begin disassembly by removing thetwo (2) 3/4" Grade 8 bolts (XB-772)and 3/4" lock nuts (XB-HNH-34-F)(Figure 2).XL-PH10405UM-en-US Rev A · 2011-03-18 · Amendments and errors reserved. © SAF-HOLLAND, Inc.7

Mounting Instructions8. Remove the cotter pin (XB-T-60),castellated nut (XB-771-1), washer(XA-768), and optional .375" spacer(XB-11472) (Figure 3).9. For .75" (19.1 mm) plate mountdiscard the .375" (9.53 mm) spacer(XB-11472). For .375" (9.53 mm) platemount retain the .375" (9.53 mm)spacer (XB-11472).10. Carefully remove the front flangeassembly (XA-11467) from the pintlehook paying attention not to damagethe front felt washer (XB-11471),U-cup seal (XB-11470), or squareO-ring seals (XB-11465) (Figure 4).11. Remove and discard the single largediameter assembly shipping spacer(XB-11466). Do not remove the rearflange square O-ring (XB-11465) orrear flange assembly (XA-11462)(Figure 5).12. Ensure the square O-rings (XB-11465)are seated in the front mounting flangeand rear mounting flange correctly.NOTE: For mounting to .75" (19.1 mm)plate, see steps 13a-24a,pages 9-11.Figure 3Figure 4Figure 5For mounting to .375" (19.53 mm)plate, see steps 13b-24b,pages 12-15.8XL-PH10405UM-en-US Rev A · 2011-03-18 · Amendments and errors reserved. © SAF-HOLLAND, Inc.

Mounting – .75" (19.1 mm) PlateFor mounting to .75" (19.1 mm) plate:13a. Position the pintle hook (XA-11461-1)and rear flange assembly (XA-11462)(containing the square O-ring, V-ringseal, and large felt washer) on thecleaned and prepared mountingsurface ensuring the square O-ringis not damaged or pinched, and holdthe pintle hook compressed againstthe rear flange and mounting surface(Figure 6).14a. While holding the pintle hook(XA-11461-1) and rear flange(XA-11462)compressed against themounting surface, carefully positionthe front flange assembly (XA-11467)containing the square O-ring ontothe pintle shank, allow the bushingsto align both flanges and pintle hookshank, then install the washer (XA-768)and castellated nut (XB-771-1). Handtighten only at this time to hold theassembly in place (Figure 7).15a. Align the flange bolt holes, install thetwo 3/4" Grade 8 bolts (XB-772) andlock nuts (XB-HNH-34-F), and properlytighten. The recommended minimumSAE J429 (Figure 8).16a. Once the flanges are bolted and torquedto the mounting structure, hold thepintle hook compressed against therear flange and remove the castellatednut and washer (Figure 9).Do not let go of the pintlehook from this point forwardas once the castellated nutand washer are removedthe pintle hook can fall outof the flanges, which, ifnot avoided, may result inminor or moderate injury.17a. While holding the pintle hook compressedagainst the rear flange, ensure that itcan rotate freely by hand (Figure 9).Figure 6Figure 7Figure 8Figure 9XL-PH10405UM-en-US Rev A · 2011-03-18 · Amendments and errors reserved. © SAF-HOLLAND, Inc.9

Mounting – .75" (19.1 mm) Plate18a. While continuing to hold the pintlehook compressed against the rearmounting flange, carefully install theU-cup seal (XB-11470) in the correctorientation with the cupped surfacefacing away from the bushing(Figure 10 and Figure 11).19a. Continue holding the pintle hookcompressed against the rear mountingflange and seat the U-cup seal (XB-11470)against the bushing using the roundhead of the cotter pin or another dulltool which will not damage, cut, orpuncture the U-cup seal (Figure 12).20a. Continue holding the pintle hookcompressed against the rear mountingflange and install the felt washer(XB-11471) over the U-cup seal(Figure 13).Figure 10Figure 11Figure 12Figure 1310XL-PH10405UM-en-US Rev A · 2011-03-18 · Amendments and errors reserved. © SAF-HOLLAND, Inc.

Continue holding the pintle hookcompressed against the rear mountingflange and install the washer (XA-768)and castellated nut (XB-771-1) handtight (Figure 15).23a. Torque the castellated nut to 50 ft-lbs.required to insert the cotter pin (XB-T-60)through the first available hole inthe castellated nut and pintle shank,then spread the ends of the cotter pin(Figure 16).24a. The pintle hook should rotate freelyby hand with a maximum gap of .04"(1.0 mm) between the rear mountingflange and pintle hook (Figure 17).Failure to install the cotterpin can lead to the backingoff of the castellated nutand separation of pintle hookfrom the flanges, which, ifnot avoided, could result indeath or serious injury.Figure 14Figure 15Figure 16Figure 17XL-PH10405UM-en-US Rev A · 2011-03-18 · Amendments and errors reserved. © SAF-HOLLAND, Inc.11

Operating Instructions8. Operating Instructions1. Before operating, inspect for properoperation, worn, damaged, or missingparts, and a secure mounting. Correctas required before use.2. Make sure the pintle is in the propercoupling position with the latch on top(Figure 30).3. Lift the lock handle away from thevehicle until the lock clears the lockseat on the hook body, open the latchby rotating the latch assembly uptowards the vehicle until the latchis in its most upright position, thenrelease the lock handle (Figure 31and Figure 32).4. Position the drawbar eye over the hornof the pintle and lower into place.5. Push the latch closed. When correctlylocked, the lock handle will rotate andmove up until it is flush with the top ofthe latch (Figure 33).Failure to correctly lockthe latch can result inseparation of the pintlehook and drawbar, which,if not avoided, could resultin death or serious injury.Figure 30Figure 31Figure 32Figure 3316XL-PH10405UM-en-US Rev A · 2011-03-18 · Amendments and errors reserved. © SAF-HOLLAND, Inc.

Maintenance9. MaintenanceFigure 34For proper performance, the followingmaintenance steps should be performedevery 30,000 miles (48,280 km) or threemonths, whichever comes first.Failure to inspect andmaintain the pintle hookmay result in separationof the pintle hook anddrawbar, which, if notavoided, could result indeath or serious injury.1. Clean and check for proper operation.Inspect for worn, damaged or missingparts. Replace as required using onlyGenuine SAF-Holland parts.2. Inspect, in particular, the couplingcontact area. Replace completeproduct when wear exceeds 0.188"(4.76 mm) from the original surfaceprofile. Wear gage (TF-10521) isavailable for purchase (Figure 34).3. With the latch closed, measure the gapbetween the hook and the latch whilelifting up on the latch. Replace the latchwhen the gap exceeds 0.375" (9.53 mm)(Figure 35). See Section 10.4. Check for axial play by pushing andpulling, fore and aft on the pintle hookand measure the gap between themounting flange and the pintle hook(Figure 36). When the gap exceeds0.04" (1.0 mm), remove the cotter pinand tighten the nut 1/6 of a full turnand reinstall the cotter pin. Verify thepintle hook will rotate freely by hand.Figure 35Figure 36Ø XL-PH10405UM-en-US Rev A · 2011-03-18 · Amendments and errors reserved. © SAF-HOLLAND, Inc.17

Maintenance5. Check for vertical play by lifting upand pushing down on the pintlehook (Figure 37). When verticalplay exceeds 0.125" (3.18 mm), theflange bolts should be removed, rotateflanges 180°, and remount flange boltsand nuts. When up and down playexceeds 0.25" (6.35 mm) after theflanges have previously been rotated180°, the flanges should be replaced.6. Re-verify torques on the mountingfasteners.
