INSTALLATION
CAUTION: As with any mechanical product,
care should be taken during installation and
operation, to prevent your fi ngers from being
pinched.
TOW BAR INSTALLATION (Towing Vehicle)
1. Slide the hitch connector into the receiver tube
of your towing vehicle hitch. Secure the receiver
pin provided into one of the two holes of the hitch
receiver. The inside hole of the receiver tube
is most commonly used. (Figure 1) Blue Ox
offers receiver and towbar lock sets (BX88101)
(BX88177) that help prevent theft. Contact Blue
Ox for more information.
2. Proceed with hooking up towed vehicle. (Page 3)
3. DEALER OR INSTALLER: BE CERTAIN USER
RECEIVES INSTRUCTION SHEETS.
NOTE: The confi guration of the rear of your
towing vehicle will determine how far you can
slide the hitch connector into the receiver tube.
Later, when the tow bar is folded, you may need
to change which set of holes are used in the
hitch connector or order a longer hitch connector.
Figure 1
WARNING: Ensure that your
towing vehicle is of adequate size to
properly control your towed vehicle.
The weight and braking capacity
should be large enough to handle
both vehicles in an emergency
situation. Check your towing vehicle
manufacturers recommendations
for towing, hitch load, and
braking capacities. The hitch, ball,
motorhome chassis, and safety
cables (each individual cable) need to
be rated at a minimum for the weight
of the vehicle being towed.
CAUTION: It is important that the attachment
points at the center of the attachment tabs and
the center of the coach's hitch receiver should be
of equal distance. If a deviation must be present,
it should be no more than four (4) inches from the
tabs up to the hitch receiver. There should be no
deviation allowed for the hitch receiver tube to be
below the level of the attachment tabs. Refer to
Figure 2.
