Connecting the tow bar
continued from preceding page
When you drive away, steer briefly to the left and then
to the right, to extend, self-center and lock the tow bar.
Always stop at this time. Check the tow bar to ensure
that both arms are locked, before assuming highway
speed. Additionally, check the other components of your
towing system, to ensure that they are fully engaged.
Do not tow a vehicle using tow bar mounting brack-
ets, safety cables, or a hitch receiver rated less than
the actual weight of the towed vehicle.
If the brackets, safety cables, hitch receiver or any
supplementary towing equipment is not rated at the
weight of the towed vehicle and all its contents, it may

fail during towing, causing property damage, person-
al injury or even death.
If the motorhome hitch receiver has an extension, do
not tow if the tow bar is more than three inches out of
level.
Receiver extensions cause the towing system to
swing much higher and lower than towing systems with-
out extensions. This enlarged arc of motion creates ex-
cessive strain on the tow bar, brackets and frame, which
can cause the towing system to fail, causing property
damage, personal injury or even death.
