road surface or within 3”
in either direction
Must have cable
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 to be damaged. 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 XHD, be sure
they have read and understand the proper operating procedure.
•This tow bar must be used with a Class IV or V rated hitch.
•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.
•Do not use coiled safety cables with this tow bar. Always use straight
safety cables.
•Be sure the SAFETY CABLES with retainers are hooked to both the
towing and towed vehicles using the criss-cross method.
•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 ETTB20039
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 pins. Attach safety cables.
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 XHD tow bar is setup for the
recommended positions for the safety cables and electrical wire
storage rod.These can be positioned to new areas to fit your setup
by loosening the screw on the retaining rings and sliding them off the
rail and relocating to a new position and tighten screw. 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 lock pin block and spring into the etrailer XHD
receiver tube and line up block with hole in tube. Insert the etrailer
XHD into a Class IV or V receiver hitch.
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.
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.
SAFETY CABLE & LIGHT CABLE INSTRUCTIONS

Page 11 ETTB20039
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.
NOTE: Your tow bar can store in three storage positions; both arms
left, both arms right, or one arm each direction.
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.
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 2. Use the latch trigger handle to release the connecting legs
between the two vehicles by pressing down on the latch trigger handle.
NOTE: The etrailer XHD 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.
