4. Close the Latch Assembly on the Tow Hitch Assembly

to lock the Tow Hitch Assembly onto the Tow Ball
(Figure 31). Attach the towing Safety Chains to the tow
vehicle ensuring there is enough slack for turning.

5. Rotate the Jack to the towing position by pulling the

spring pin and rotating the Jack until it locks into the
tow position (Figure 32). Make sure the hitch coupler
is properly and securely attached to the tow ball.

6. Insert the Locking Pin into the hole of the Latch

Assembly to lock it in the closed position.

7. For extra safety and security, you may want to

purchase a lock to install into the hole of the latch
assembly (Figure 33).

MAKING SURE THE BACKHOE IS SECURELY ATTACHED TO
THE VEHICLE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER/OPERATOR. FAILURE TO SECURELY ATTACH THE
BACKHOE CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE
OR THE BACKHOE BEING SEPARATED FROM THE TOWING
VEHICLE, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ALWAYS USE ACCESSORY LIGHTS AND DEVICES WHEN
TRANSPORTING ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY TO WARN
OPERATORS OF OTHER VEHICLES. CHECK YOUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.
