Step 5. Slide and twist the legs into position to attach them
to the baseplate on towed vehicle. Secure to baseplate 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 op-
tional 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 Dominator tow bar is setup for
the recommended positions for the safety cables and light
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 light 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 6. Hook safety cables to chain anchor of baseplate.
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 com-
pleted, 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. Crisscross
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 Demco safety cables.
Step 4. Position the vehicle to be towed approx. 24” behind
the towing vehicle. Perform a tow bar safety 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.
