anchors or a place to
connect cable to frame
TOW BAR
Be sure to check if towed vehicle requires additional equipment such as a transmission lube pump, free-wheel hubs, driveline disconnect
or axle locks. Failure to properly equip towed vehicle will result in severe damage to towed vehicle’s transmission.
Be sure that towed vehicle’s steering wheel is unlocked and free to turn. Check manufacturer’s specifications for the proper way to unlock
steering wheel.
Be sure to check that receiver on towing vehicle is not inset too far. When attaching an etrailer towing product it is important that turning
clearance is adequate. A receiver that is inset too far on a towing vehicle will shorten turning radius. Failure to check this may result in
towing or towed vehicle damage. It may be necessary to install a receiver extension to allow for proper turning clearance.
WARNING: ADDITIONAL SAFETY ITEMS. Safety is of utmost importance at
all times.To prevent personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
•Before allowing anyone to hook up or operate the etrailer SD, be sure
they have read and understand the proper operating procedure.
•This tow bar must be used with a Class III rated hitch or higher.
•Be sure the steering components of the towed vehicle are properly aligned.
•The male receiver tube must fit snugly in the hitch receiver and the safety
pin must be in position to lock the receiver and tube together.
•NOTE: Do not attempt to back up with the tow bar and towed vehicle
connected. Backing up with the tow bar and towed vehicle connected
could result in severe damage to the tow bar and/or the towed vehicle.
•For automatic transmissions: Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for
towing suitability with the drive shaft connected. Otherwise, the towed
vehicle will have to be equipped with a transmission pump or drive shaft
disconnect.
•Be sure the SAFETY CABLES with retainers are hooked to both the
towing and towed vehicles using the criss-cross method.
•Do not use coiled safety cables with this tow bar. Always use straight
safety cables.
•Do not load the towed vehicle with anything as you may exceed the towing
capacity of the tow bar.
•Check to make sure that all lights are in proper working order.
•Make sure all auxiliary lights are securely attached to the towed vehicle.
WARNING:
FAILURETO FOLLOWTHESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF TOWINGVEHICLE CONTROL, SEPARATION OF THE
TOW BAR FROM THE TOWING VEHICLE, SEPARATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE TOW BAR, CAUSING SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT NOTICE! Refer to towed vehicle’s owner’s manual to verify
that it is suitable for towing.

Page 10 ETTB20040
Step 5. Slide and twist the legs into position to attach them to
the base plate on towed vehicle. Secure to base plate using the
two attaching pins and 1/4”quick-lock pin. Attach safety cables
(see below). Now connect the lighting cable between the towing
vehicle and
the towed vehicle lighting system or auxiliary light bar.
The coiled section of the cable will be stored on the support rod.
Towing vehicle must be larger and at least 500 lbs. heavier
than the towed vehicle and tow bar combined.
Step 1. Out of the box, the etrailer SD tow bar is setup with the
safety cables installed and ready for you to tow.Install the electrical
cable (optional) by placing the coil over the wire support rod.Secure
the cable with the cable locking hair pin.
HOOKING UP THE VEHICLE TO BE TOWED
Step 4. Position the vehicle to be towed approximately 24”behind
the towing vehicle. Perform a tow bar check, look for any loose
fasteners, condition of safety cables, excessive movement in
connecting leg shaft when the shaft is extended and locked. If any
excessive movement or loose fasteners, the tow bar will need to be
serviced before towing. The vehicles do not have to be in straight
alignment to complete the hook-up. Engage towed vehicle and
towing vehicle parking brake.
Quick-Lock pin must be closed properly.
Fold ring of Quick-Lock pin to the side of
the pin that allows ring to snap against
pin. If you have folded its ring the wrong
way it will not snap against pin.
Step 2. Insert the etrailer SD into a Class III or greater receiver hitch.
Step 3. Insert receiver pin through receiver until pin passes
through. Secure pin with the receiver hair pin. Criss-cross safety
cables underneath pivot assembly and attach to chain anchors
on towing vehicle. Do not use coiled safety cables with this tow
bar. Always use straight safety cables.
Step 6. Hook safety cables to chain anchor of base plate.
Note: Make sure safety clip is in working order.
Step 7. Leave the electrical cable storage pin (circled above)
out for the locking procedure in step 6. When step 6 is complete,
position cable on storage rod leaving enough slack and insert pin.
SAFETY CABLE & LIGHT CABLE INSTALLATION

Page 11 ETTB20040
UNHOOKING THE TOWED VEHICLE
Step 1. Begin unhooking your unit by first applying both vehicle parking
brakes and unhook your lighting and safety cables. Failure to have
parking brakes applied could allow towed vehicle to roll forward.
This could result in limited space between towing vehicle and
towed vehicle.
Step 3. Remove pins that attach tow bar to towed vehicle. Slide the
extendable legs back into tube. Position electrical cable on storage
rod and insert pin to prevent cable from sliding off.
Step 4. Now take the bottom leg and lift up high enough for storage
pin to clear under storage plate. Turn leg under storage and push
leg down so pin locks into plate. Repeat for top leg.
Step 8. Once you are secured to the tow bar, release towed vehicle
parking brake and slowly back up the towed vehicle straight back
until one leg latches. Determine which leg latched by having an
assistant tell you.If you are by yourself put towed vehicle in neutral
or park and apply parking brake. Get out and check to see which
leg latched.To latch the second leg, turn the top of towed vehicle’s
steering wheel into the direction of the leg that first latched, and
slowly back up again.This will latch the second leg. Once both legs
are latched, straighten wheels on towed vehicle and shut vehicle off.
Adjust tow bar receiver head so the vertical bolt is perpendicular
to the base plate height of towed vehicle. Tighten the 1/2” bolts
on each side of joint head to 85 ft/lbs. If manual transmission,
shift to neutral, unlock steering wheel and make sure parking brake
is released. Note: For 4-wheel-drive units, shift transfer case
into neutral also. Reminder: Consult vehicle’s manufacturer for
towing suitability of manual or automatic transmission vehicles.
Step 2. Use the latch trigger handle to release the connecting legs
between the two vehicles by pressing down on the latch trigger handle.
NOTE: Your tow bar can store in three storage positions; both arms
left, both arms right, or one arm to each side.
NOTE: The etrailer SD comes with a 1-1/2” off-set receiver that
can be flipped to help level the tow bar with the towed vehicle. The
receiver is in the up position from factory. To change to the lower
position, remove both 1/2” bolts and washer from side of receiver
joint head. Remove the 3/4” nut and bolt, slide receiver out of
receiver joint head and flip receiver into the down position. Slide
receiver back into the receiver joint head and reinstall the fasteners.
