IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This Tow Bar’s Hitch Coupler MUST be properly
secured to the hitch ball of the towing vehicle.
After assembly and attachment, pull up and
down on the Hitch Coupler to make sure the
hitch ball is tting snugly in the Hitch Coupler.
There must be no play between the hitch ball
and Hitch Coupler. If there is play, tighten the
Adjustment Nut until no play is present. If the
Adjustment Nut is too tight, the Handle will not
lock. Carefully read and follow the complete
instructions in this manual BEFORE setup
or use.
If the Coupler is not secured properly, the
ball could come loose while the trailer is in
motion, possibly causing property damage,
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, or DEATH.
Please note: Most vehicles will require custom brackets. For front towing of some
vehicles, the vehicle’s bumper will have to be removed rst. If not experienced
in setting up this type of equipment and installing brackets, assistance from a
qualied service technician is recommended.
