INSTALLATION
1. Refer to figure 1 while installing the tow bar. Hold
the Tow Bar in position with its tabs aligned inside
the baseplate tabs. Insert the 1/2 in. diameter pins,
provided with the baseplate, through the holes
labeled "A". Be sure to secure the pins with the
hairpin clips provided.
NOTE: If the tabs do not line up, the mount angles
on the tow bar can be adjusted by loosening the
bolts labeled "B". Be sure to tighten the bolts when
finished.
2. Fully extend the tow bar. (See Extending Tow Bar)
Hold the coupler parallel to the ground and rotate the
tow bar up or down until the top surfaces of the
mount angles are parallel with the coupler. Insert the
5/16 in. diameter pins through holes labeled "C" in
the baseplate and the nearest hole in the tow bar
tab.

NOTE: On baseplates manufactured prior to 1991,
these holes "C" must be drilled. Using a 3/8 drill bit,
drill holes on the center line of the baseplate tabs, 1
7/16 inches from the center of the existing hole.
