Kiki,
My buddy didn't remember the instructions for adjusting the friction, but thought
it was something like, "take out the slack, then crank 'er down 3/4 turn". The
local Coleman store sells an identical gadget, so I might ask there or see if
theirs has a sticker that tells how to adjust it.

It's interesting that you don't often see these things on other trailers. Boat,
utility, horse trailers and others usually just drop on the ball. Larger trailers
have weight equalizer bars, but not anti-sway devices.

I'm really anxious to try thing thing out once I get the brakes, etc. all
configured. Gotta pull the wheels, check the brakes, and repack bearings, too.
