Demco Dominator - Unhooking the Towed Vehicle

Page 11
Remove pins that attach tow bar to towed vehicle. Domina-
tor will remain in position. Slide the extendable legs back into
tube. Position electrical cable on storage rod and insert pin to
prevent cable from sliding off.
NOTE: The Dominator comes with a 1-1/2” off-set receiver
that can be flipped to help level the tow bar with the towed ve-
hicle. 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.
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 can store in three storage positions, both arms
left, both arms right and one arm left and one arm right.
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 your-
self 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, shut vehicle off.
Adjust tow bar receiver head so the vertical bolt is perpen-
dicular to the baseplate 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 four wheel drive
units, shift transfer case into neutral also. Reminder:

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. One connecting leg may have more pressure
against it, do that one first.
