TOWED VEHICLE ATTACHMENT
A structure must be fabricated to allow the tow bar to be attached to the frame of the
towed vehicle. Some typical frame attachment structures (not included) are shown below.
If the bumper is used for support, it must be reinforced with frame attachments (not
included). A typical way of reinforcing a bumper (not included) is shown below.
These frame attachments should be attached within 2” of where the tow bar brackets are
to be attached. These frame attachments should be made from at least 1/2”x2” flat bar
stock. Never attach through plastic fascia covering a bumper. This fascia must be trimmed,
with customer approval, to provide a secure attachment.
Attach pivot bracket assembly as shown.
