vehicle. (Figure 2) Remove the wire lock pin from
the tow bar fold up tabs. Unfold the tow bar by
raising the tow bar legs until the retainer pin clears
the slot in the pivot bracket. Pull the legs out
away from the towing vehicle and place them on
the ground.

on the towed vehicle and secure with the

the quick pin, also tethered, through the hole in the
connector pin to lock it in place. The quick pin
only locks when the ring is rotated towards the
