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, headlight assemblies, hood

latch, horn bracket, turbo cooler, air dam, and

metal bumper, are removed and reinstalled.

Trimming of belly pan and front grille style 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, and/ or bending end

plates.

The Bx8848 4 Diode Wiring Kit is

recommended for this vehicle.

2. After removing the top part of the fascia, there are

two other Torx bolts to remove using a T-27 Torx

socket. Do this to both sides. Set bolts aside for

later reinstallation.

3. In the wheel well, just forward the front tire, remove

four Torx bolts using a T-25 Torx socket. Do this to

both sides and set aside for later reinstallation.
