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.

Instructions:

The front fascia and washer reservoir are

removed and reinstalled during the baseplate

installation. Drilling is required. Trimming of

the frame and fascia is required. The radiator

support bracket is removed.

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 BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is

recommended for this vehicle.

2. Using a 20 Torx, remove two screws from just

forward of the front tire on the edge of the wheel

well cover. Set screws aside to be reinstalled later.

Do this to both sides of the vehicle.
