Owners manual
Attachment Tabs:
Motorhome mount tow bars are recommended for
use with this baseplate. Due to the design of the
removable tabs, the RangeFinderII, Adventurer,
and Ambassador tow bars can not be used. The
Acclaim tow bar may be used, but will not fold
and store on the front of the vehicle. Adapters,
except the BX8833 and BX88151, can not be used
with this baseplate.
Installation Notes: The radiator
cover, grille assembly, headlights, fascia
and air dams are removed for installation.
Reinstallation of the air dams is optional. If air
dams are reinstalled, trimming of the air dams
is required. Drilling is required.
The dimensional variations between otherwise
identical vehicles can be considerable.
While the baseplate was designed for easy
installation, it may be necessary to tailor the
baseplate slightly to compensate for auto
manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor
adjustments may include fi ling a hole slightly,
bending electrical rods or bending end plates.
The BX8848 4-Diode Wiring Kit is
recommended for this vehicle.
2. Using the 10mm socket, remove three screws
