Step 3. Remove pins that attach tow bar to towed vehicle.
Aluminator
TM
will remain in position. Slide the extendable legs
back into tube. Position electrical cable on storage rod and
insert pin to prevent cable from sliding off.
Step 4. Now fold both legs together and push them upward.
Step 5. Rotate them counter-clockwise into the storage posi-
tion. The unit is self supportive in this position. Insert the small
hairpin into the lockpin inside the front yoke. Cover your
Aluminator

opposite side you must rotate the rear yoke 180 and
rotate the legs clockwise into the storage position.
Step 7. Once you are secured to the tow bar, release towed
vehicle parking brake, and slowly back up the towed vehicle
straight back until one leg latches. Determine which leg
latched by having an assistant tell you. If you are by yourself
put towed vehicle in neutral or park, and apply parking brake.
Get out and check to see which leg latched, you can tell by
which leg has green stripe shown by lock collar. To latch the
second leg turn the top of towed vehicles steering wheel into
the direction of the leg that first latched, and slowly back up
again. This will latch the second leg. Once both legs are
latched straighten wheels on towed vehicle, shut vehicle off.
If manual transmission, shift to neutral, unlock steering wheel,
and make sure parking brake is released. Note: For four
wheel drive units, shift transfer case into neutral also.
Reminder: Consult vehicles manufacturer for towing suitabil-
ity, for manual or automatic transmission vehicles.

vehicle to roll forward, this could result in limited space
between towing vehicle and towed vehicle.
Step 2. Use the Lock Collar Release Tool to relieve any
pressure in the connecting legs between the two vehicles.
