For rear mounting of the QM 5000, any standard Class III rear receiver hitch may be used. For rear mounting of the
QM 8000 or QM 9000, a SurePull Class III rear receiver or equivalent with a 5,000 lb. minimum weight carrying rat-
ing must be used. Receivers must not be recessed more than 1-1/4 inches from bumper face.
For front mounting, route quick connect battery power lead (kit #251053-5’ lg.) through grille, leaving connector on

BLY DAMAGE THEM.
