WARNING
Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
Follow your vehicle's owner's manual for all flat towing steps and limitations.
When operating the tow bar ensure you are in a safe
position from vehicle movement and pinch points.
Verify adequate clearances between both vehicles
and your towing system in all maneuvering situations.
Always use safety cables when towing. Ensure the safety cables are long enough
to allow for turns without becoming entangled with the tow bar or latch handles.
Safety or electrical cables becoming entangled with the latch handles could
cause one or more arms to collapse, resulting in major damage, injury or death.
Damage may occur if cables come in contact with the ground, tow bar arms
or the latch handles. Never wrap cables around tow bar arms. Inspect safety
cables prior to towing. Never use damaged safety cables.
Ensure that your towing vehicle is of adequate size to properly control
your towed vehicle. Vehicle performance (braking, handling, acceleration,
turning radius) can be drastically affected by the towed vehicle. Allow for
additional time and space for stopping, changing lanes, passing and turning.
Be sure towing and towed vehicles are aligned with proper tire air pressure.
Low air pressure and misaligned vehicles may cause excessive wear,
poor vehicle tracking and extra stress on your towing system.
Never back up while flat towing a vehicle. Damage to both vehicles and towing system may occur.
Inspect the tow bar and towing system prior to every use. Check for cracked welds, loose,
worn or damaged parts. Do not tow with a damaged or worn tow bar or towing system.
Severe bumps can damage your towing system. Avoid rough terrain and sharp turns.
Always tow at reduced speeds, never exceed 50 miles per hour.
Never use towed vehicle for storage, this may cause you to
exceed the capacity of the tow bar or your towing system.
The steering wheel of the towed vehicle must be unlocked to allow vehicle to track freely while
towing. Failure to do so may result in loss of control, property damage, personal injury or death.

Notes
Installer / owner is responsible for locating rigid mounting points to
attach clevis mounts. A structure may need to be fabricated to allow
the tow bar to be attached to the frame of the towed vehicle.
It is recommended that clevis mounts be secured to a flat, nearly
vertical area of the bumper.
Clevis mounts should be spaced equally from center line of vehicle.
Recommended clevis mount spacing is 26" to 41", with 33" preferred.
Step 1
Mark both centers of the clevis mounts (#3)
on the attachment surface at the desired width.
Using the clevis mount as a template, drill two
1/2" holes into the attachment surface, both sides.

Before Every Towing Use
Adjust the coupler to fit the trailer ball by turning the nut under
the coupler. The coupler latch needs to engage the coupler and the
coupler must not be loose on the trailer ball. Always ensure there
is no free play between the coupler and hitch ball before towing.
The coupler latch must be secured with a
safety pin or a coupler lock (sold separately).
Attach two safety chains between the vehicles (sold separately).
Individual safety chains must have a break strength equal
to or exceeding the gross weight of the towed vehicle.
Use of safety chain is required.
Connect the appropriate wiring for stop,
turn, tail and marker lights (sold separately).
Check for proper clearance between vehicles in a turning situation.
Unlock the steering wheel for towing to allow
the front wheels of the towed vehicle to 'track'.
Set transmission for towing according to the owner's manual.
Verify recreational towing procedures in the vehicle owner's manual.
Use only vehicles equipped with manual transmissions or with
automatic transmissions with pumps that allow towing or drive shaft
disconnects. Manual transmissions must be in neutral
