Lower the upper mounting brackets (Figure 8) over
the pins in the lower mounting brackets, and secure
them in place with the provided linch pins (inset, Figure
8).
The linch pins must be locked into place, with
the curved side of
the linch pins touch-
ing the rings, as
shown to the right.
If the linch pins are
not locked into po-
sition, towing vibra-
tions will force the linch pins out, which will cause
the Tow Defender to separate from the towed ve-
hicle. Significant damage to the towed vehicle or
the Tow Defender may occur.

IMPORTANT! Slide the Tow Defender collar (Figure 9)
up or down the tow bar stinger (or hitch ball extension),
so that the Tow Defender screen appears taut (Figure 10).
Now slide the collar (Figure 9) back one inch toward the
towed vehicle.
This slack is necessary for sharp turns.
If the fabric is too taut, over time the fabric will fail and
tear at the seams.
Failure to leave enough slack in the screen will
cause the fabric to tear and is not covered by war-
ranty.
