Installation Instructions
Important:
Use only genuine factory replacement parts on your baseplate. Do NOT substitute homemade or non-typical parts. If a bolt is lost or in need of
replacement, for your safety and the preservation of your baseplate, be sure to use a replacement bolt of the same grade (In most cases it will
be Grade 5, please reference the parts list above). Replacement parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox® Dealer or Distributor.
Failing to follow and/or altering these installation instructions in either installation or required equipment will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
