Important:

Use only genuine factory replacement parts on your baseplate. Do

 substitute homemade or non-typical parts. If a bolt is lost or in need of 

replacement, for your safety and the preservation of your baseplate, be sure to use a replacement bolt of the same grade (In most cases it will be Grade 

5, please reference the parts list above). Replacement parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox® Dealer or Distributor.  Failing to follow and/
