baseplate
Both tow bar arms must be attached to the base-
plate and locked with a linch pin. Towing vibrations
will force the linch pins out unless they are properly
locked in place over the base pins on both baseplates.
Failure to properly install and lock both base pins
will result in the loss of the towed vehicle, which may
cause property damage, personal injury or even death.
Do not tow a vehicle using a tow bar baseplate,
safety cables or a hitch receiver rated less than the
actual weight of the towed vehicle or failure may oc-
cur during towing, causing property damage, personal
injury or even death.
Do not tow if the tow bar is more than three inches
out of level. See “Stay in the Safe Zone” on page 7.
Towing out of level creates excessive strain on the
tow bar, baseplate and frame, which can cause the
towing system to fail, causing property damage, per-
sonal injury or even death.
