! WARNING !
NEVER
Use a pickup or van to tow another vehicle as the light rear end of these vehicles can cause
unsafe towing conditions. When braking the towed vehicle will push the rear of the towing vehicle. This
pushing may cause the vehicles to jackknife and/or lose control. The air turbulence from passing vehicles
can also cause loss on control. The total weight of the towed vehicle must not exceed 5,000 lbs. and must
not exceed the towing capacity of the towing vehicle. This tow bar is sold WITHOUT safety chains. Some
states require the use of double safety chains. Use only Class III 1/4” proof coil chain rated for at least
5,000 lbs. capacity..

Parts List
Important:
1. This tow bar should be attached to bumper components which give a solid, unyielding attachment point.
Bumper mounting bracket bolts may be used for tow bar attachment if they are spaced properly and have
secure frame connections. Many applications may require that special mounting brackets be built by the
installer to give adequate frame attachment and reinforcement. Check bumper carefully before attaching only
to bumper face. Most bumpers cannot withstand the towing pressure.
2. This tow bar should be installed by a qualified professional installer that is experienced in fabricating
vehicle attachment brackets and selecting appropriate attachment areas with sufficient strength for
this application.
3
. Coupler must be adjusted to fit and lock snugly over a 2” ball used for towing.
4. Check the towing vehicle's manual and receiver hitch for GVWR. Both must exceed 5,000 lbs.
5. Check the towed vehicle's manual to determine if it is acceptable to be flat towed.
