Blue Ox BX7302P - Manual (Page 3)

TOW BAR INSTALLATION
1. Blue Ox Tow Bars are designed for the pintel coupler to be parallel to the ground when it is attached to both the
towed and towing vehicles. If the Tow Bar pintel coupler is at an angle, damage or an accident could
occur.
2. Put Tow Bar leg ends between attachment tabs to align with tab holes and insert 1/2" pins through these holes. Insert
quick clip into holes on 1/2" pin and flip ring to lock pin in place.
3. Adjust the pintel coupler for proper fit to the receiver ball or clevis. For added security, place a lock, pin or bolt
through the hole in the receiver locking lever.
4. Do not substitute other devices if the pins and clips are lost.
5.
DEALER OR INSTALLER: BE CERTAIN USER RECEIVES INSTRUCTION SHEETS.
SAFETY CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Using the cable hooks, attach the cables to a solid part of the chassis of the towed vehicle or to the baseplate
convenience links. When attaching the hooks, make sure the safety snap clicks back against the hook to prevent the
hook from unhooking. (See Fig. 3) NOTE: It is best to have permanent chains that connect the convenience links to
the frame of the car. (See Fig. 2)
2. Cross the two safety cables under the tow bar. (See Fig. 1)
3. Using the cable hooks, attach the opposite ends of the cables to a solid part of the chassis of the towing vehicle if at all
possible. Make sure the safety snap clicks back against the hook to prevent the hook from unhooking. (See Fig. 3)
4. Adjust slack so that the cables cannot touch the ground or become caught beneath the receiver area by rout-
ing cables over cross bar or wrapping cable around Tow Bar legs. (See Fig 1 & Important Note below). If
either of these things happen, the cables may become damaged and ineffective. DO NOT USE DAMAGED
CABLES!
5. If BX88197 cables are not used, be sure each cable or chain used has at least the load rating of the tow bar
(7500 lbs.).
Serial No.
IMPORTANT: Wrapping safety cables around Tow Bar legs is a non-typical installation for safety
cables with Blue Ox tow bars. With all other Blue Ox tow bars BX4325(Aladdin), BX4330(Acclaim) and
BX7335(Aventa II) the safety cables should never be wrapped around the tow bar legs.
