each arm to the vehicle tabs. Lifting the
latch handle eases moving the arms in

At the end of each arm, position the tow bar lug
between the vehicle base plate tab and secure
with the provide 1/2" pin and lynch pin.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the lynch pin is in
the proper orientation and the folding
ring closes completely, as shown.
Step 4
Position the towed vehicle on a level surface
squarely behind the towing vehicle in the

make hooking up safe and easy.
IMPORTANT: Any time you are hooking
up or unhooking the tow bar both
vehicles should be in park.
