a. Your TWISTEP has been assembled with the 2” x 2”
adaptor. If you have the smaller hitch size, loosen and
remove the screw holding the adaptor with the included Hex
Key. The receiver bar is now compatible with the smaller
hitch (1¼”) size. Make sure you store the Hex Key for the 2” x 2” adaptor in a safe/memorable
place.
b. Regardless of whether your hitch is 2” x 2” or 1¼” x 1¼” you want to
match the TWISTEP up to and insert it into the hitch. You will easily see if it
will fit and twist properly. If you need to make an adjustment, move on to
Step c. If it fits properly, proceed to g.
c. Loosen and remove the 4 screws holding the receiver bar to the tower assembly of the
TWISTEP with the included Hex Key.
d. Raise and/or lower the TWISTEP assembly to match the holes and the proper height you need
for your particular vehicle. Identify which level you need and set the assembly down (it becomes
heavy to hold up after a short time) and remove the receiver bar.
e. Re-attach it to the TWISTEP assembly with the receiver bar, using the 4 screws/washers you
previously removed. Be sure to tighten them similar to how tight it was originally.
f. Now, reinstall the total unit, making sure the TWISTEP can be rotated and the step can be set
in place for proper use.
g. Once you are satisfied with the height adjustment, insert the receiver bolt/washer included in
the parts kit and tighten to ensure it will not loosen on its own. When it is tightened the anti-
wobble function included in the receiver bar will stop any wobbling or rattling.
Notice! If you are trying to install the TWISTEP on a 2006-2015 Chevrolet Tahoe or
GMC Yukon, 2014-2015 Jeep Cherokee and some Nissan Pathfinders, you will need to
call our customer support for an additional bracket, item #3053.
