Attach
MTX Platform to Square Tube
Slide the MTX platform onto the square tube aligning the holes. Find the two big hex head bolts, two
nuts, and four washers. Slide one washer on the bolt and guide through the platform. Place washer
on the other side and secure with a nut. Repeat process on both sides.(Note: If you plan to use the
optional LED Light kit, attach the MTX platform so the holes are facing rearward)
IMPORTANT: Tighten until the side gaps are closed and the connection is tight. The bolt is
only tightened when the gaps are fully closed, which will eliminate the platform from rocking
back and forth.
(C.)
Optional: Adding a Trailer Ball
The larger diameter vertical hole in the square tube is for a 5/8 inch shank diameter trailer ball. This
is the smallest size of trailer ball (by design). If you want to install a trailer ball, simply install the MTX
Platform closer to the vehicle to expose the hole.
CAUTION: For safety purposes, you must add the tongue weight of the trailer to the total weight on
hitch calculation explained here. Assume the trailer tongue weight to be at least 10% of trailer weight.
