IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION:
- Be sure to read the "Lift & Carrier Compatibility

Information" to ﬁ gure out if the lift or carrier is ap-

plicable onto the motorhome chassis and to ﬁ gure

out how much weight will be added to the rear axle

of the motorhome.
- Installation of the receiver may require modiﬁ ca-

tion of mount plates or fabrication of new mount

plates depending on the coach and chassis. Weld-

ing the mount plates to the 3 receiver weldment is

also required:

- Use 3/8" to 1/2" hot rolled plate depending

on application when fabricating the mount

plates.

- Installers be aware of the rear exhaust of

the RV when designing the mount plates,

so the lift of carrier clears the exhaust

when in operation.

- There should be six 3/4-10 hex bolts used

on each mount plate.

- The mount plates should be mounted

directly to the main C-channels of the RV

chassis for the most support.

- The hitch receiver needs to be welded by

a certiﬁ ed welder.

INSTALLING HITCH RECEIVER

1. Note 1: If the original hitch has motor mounts

incorporated into it, don't touch original hitch,

the mount plates will have to go around it.

Note 2: The original hitch of the coach will

need to be replaced with the SC9000 or

SC9019 hitch receiver. Once the original

hitch is removed, measure between the

two c-channels of the frame of the coach.

What ever this measurement is, is what the

distance between the mounting plates need

to be as shown in Fig. A. The hitch receiver

needs to be positioned so the brackets of the

lift or carrier will not hit the coach bumper or

ﬁ berglass body or exhaust pipe. (Fig. B). The

recommended height of the Blue Ox receiv-

ers is 18-20 inches from the ground to the

center of the receivers. The brackets can be

pinned into the hitch receiver to give a better

idea where the mounting plates need to be

located.

Note: It is recommended that the

3 receivers have a 2 degree tilt up when

welding or bolting the mount plates to the

chassis. This will make sure the deck is

level once cargo is loaded onto deck. Bolt

the hitch receiver assembly to the c-channels

of the coach with 3/4-10 x 1 3/4 hex bolts,

lockwashers, and hex nuts.
