If the spring-loaded ring on
the linch pin does not snap
against itself, spin the linch
pin around and flip the ring
to the other side.
Both tow bar arms must be attached to the baseplate
and locked with a linch pin. Towing vibrations will
force the linch pins out unless they are properly locked
in place over the base pins on both baseplates.
Failure to properly install and lock both base pins
will result in the loss of the towed vehicle, which may
cause property damage, personal injury or even death.
Do not tow a vehicle using a tow bar baseplate,
safety cables or a hitch receiver rated less than the
actual weight of the towed vehicle or failure may oc-
cur during towing, causing property damage, personal
injury or even death.
If the motorhome hitch receiver has an extension,
do not tow if the tow bar is more than three inches
out of level.
Receiver extensions cause the towing system to
swing much higher and lower than towing systems
without extensions. This enlarged arc of motion cre-
ates excessive strain on the tow bar, baseplate and
frame, which can cause the towing system to fail,
causing property damage, personal injury or even
death.
