Installing the Road Towable Kit
12. Remove the existing Hitch from the Splitter by removing the large Bolt,
Washers and Locknut using a 15/16" Wrench and Ratchet with a 15/16"
Socket (Figure 36).
13. Attach the new Tow Hitch to the Frame with the two 1/2-13 x 4" Bolts and
Locknuts using two 3/4" Wrenches (Figure 37).
14. Position the Safety Chains at the holes in the Frame and secure with two
3/8-16 x 1-1/2" Bolts, four Washers (one on Bolt side and one on Locknut
side) and Locknuts using two 9/16" Wrenches.
15. Place the Vehicle Connector end of the Wire Harness near the Tow Hitch
and let it extend about two feet past the Hitch. Place the 7/16" Tube Clamp
around the Harness and secure the Clamp to the Frame using two 7/16"
Wrenches (Figure 38).
Note: Make sure there is enough of the Harness past the Tube Clamp to be
connected to the tow vehicle.
16. Guide the other end of the Harness behind the Hitch and under the Frame.
Feed the Harness over the center of the Hydraulic Tank so it is at the Back of
the machine.
17. Remove a Bolt, Washer and Locknut at the center of the Frame on the Left
side with two 9/16" Wrenches (Figure 39). Place the large Tube Clamp over
the Harness and secure to the Frame with the Bolt, Washer and Locknut
from the kit. Tighten the Clamp Hardware with two 1/2" Wrenches.
