ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This Tow Bar’s Hitch Coupler MUST be properly 

secured to the hitch ball of the towing vehicle.  

After  assembly  and  attachment,  pull  up  and 

down  on  the  Hitch  Coupler  to  make  sure  the 

hitch ball is fitting snugly in the Hitch Coupler.  

There must be no play between the hitch ball 

and Hitch Coupler.  

If there is play, tighten the 

Adjustment Nut until no play is present.  If the 

Adjustment Nut is too tight, the Handle will not 

lock.  

Carefully read and follow the complete 

instructions in this manual BEFORE setup 

or use.

If the Coupler is not secured properly, the 

ball could come loose while the trailer is in 

motion, possibly causing property damage, 

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, or DEATH.

Please note: Most vehicles will require custom brackets.  For front towing of some 

vehicles, the vehicle’s bumper will have to be removed first.  If not experienced 

in setting up this type of equipment and installing brackets, assistance from a 

qualified service technician is recommended.
