Tow Bar Instructions
Step 5. Slide and twist the legs into position to attach them
to the baseplate on towed vehicle. Secure to baseplate using
the two attaching pins and 1/4” quick-lock pins. Attach safety
cables. Now connect the lighting cable between the towing
vehicle and the towed vehicle lighting system or optional light bar.
The coiled section of the cable will be stored on the support
rod. Towing vehicle must be larger and at least 500 lbs. heavier than the
towed vehicle and tow bar combined.
Step 1. Out of the box, the Excalibar 3 tow bar is setup for the
recommended positions for the safety cables and light wire stor-
age rod. These can be positioned to new areas to fit your setup
by loosening the screw on the retaining rings and sliding them
off the rail and relocating to a new position and tighten screw.
Install the light cable (optional) by placing the coil over the wire
support rod. Secure the cable with the cable locking hair pin.
Hooking Up the Vehicle to Be Towed
Refer to load limits on inside of front cover.
Step 4. Position the vehicle to be towed approx. 24” be-
hind the towing vehicle. Perform a tow bar check, look for any
loose fasteners, condition of safety cables, excessive move-
ment in connecting leg shaft when the shaft is extended and
locked. If any excessive movement or loose fasteners, the tow
bar will need to be serviced before towing. The vehicles do
not have to be in straight alignment to complete the hook-up.
Engage towed vehicle and towing vehicle parking brake.
Step 2. Insert the lock pin block and spring into the Excalibar
3 receiver tube and line up block with hole in tube. Insert the
Excalibar 3 into a Class III or IV hitch. Caution: Tow Bar must
be inserted directly into tow vehicle receiver hitch or into an ap-
proved rise drop receiver only! Tow Bar should never be insert-
ed into a receiver extension, bike rack, storage rack, motorcycle
rack, or any other device that extends the tow bar away from the
tow vehicle.
Step 6. Hook safety cables to chain anchor of baseplate.
Note: Make sure safety clip is in working order.
Step 7. Leave the electrical cable storage pin (circled above) out
for the locking procedure in step 6. When step 6 is completed,
position cable on storage rod leaving enough slack, and insert
pin.
Step 3. Insert receiver pin through receiver until pin passes
through. Secure pin with the Receiver hair pin. Crisscross safety
cables underneath pivot assembly and attach to chain anchors
on towing vehicle. Do not use coiled safety cables with this tow
bar, always use straight Demco safety cables.
