Owners manual

Removable 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.
Instruction Notes: The plastic cover, front
fascia, headlight assembly, and the metal bumper
are removed and reinstalled for the baseplate
installation. Trimming and drilling are required. The
metal bumper will not be reinstalled.
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 ling a hole
slightly, bending electrical rods or bending end
plates.
The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is
available for this vehicle.
