Step 7
After the towed vehicle is set up for flat towing,
pull forward slightly with the towing vehicle
until one or both of the locking handles are
engaged. Handles will snap down to a vertical
position when they are locked.
If only one locking handle is engaged, turn the
towing vehicles steering wheel towards the locked
tow bar arm while slowly driving forward.
Always verify both handles are in
the locked position prior to towing.
Step 8
Attach the provided safety cables (#2) to the hitch's safety chain loops / plates or a solid part of the towing vehicle's chassis.
After attaching the cables to the towing vehicle, cross the cables as you run them under the tow bar (#1) toward
the towed vehicle. Attach the cables to the base plate convenience links or the solid part of the towed vehicle's chassis.
Verify the cable hooks are fully seated and the safety springs are closed and snapped against the hooks.
Safety cables must not be hooked on themselves, kinked or knotted.

and may need to be altered to best fit your setup.
Step 9
Ensure the safety cables are long enough to allow for turns without making hard contact with the tow bar or latch handles. Damage may occur if
the cables come in contact with the ground, tow bar arms or the latch handles. Never wrap the safety cables around the tow bar arms. Inspect
the safety cables prior to towing. Never use damaged safety cables. Attach the electrical cable between the towing and towed vehicle.
WARNING
Safety or electrical cables becoming entangled with the latch handles could
cause one or more arms to collapse, resulting in major damage, injury or death.
