Installing the Permanent Base Plate Safety Cables
When dinghy towing a vehicle with a tow bar, base plate safety cables should be used at all times.
In the event of a disconnect, the safety cables are designed to help prevent complete vehicle separation.
When installing the safety cables, use the illustrations below as a guide.
Installation guidelines
1. The cables must be connected to
the base plate and the vehicle frame.
2. Two cables must be installed.
3. Each cable must meet or exceed the
gross weight of the towed vehicle.
4. Make sure cables do not pinch or interfere
with hoses, wiring or other components.
Note:
Base plate safety cables are not a replacement for safety chains connecting the tow vehicle to the towed vehicle.
