Figure 2
Installing the ‘quick-disconnect' system
continued from preceding page
of the crossbar (Figure 2), and the vertical pins at the
bottom of the crossbar should fit through the lower holes
on the quick-disconnects (Figure 2).
3.
Both quick-disconnects must be positioned so that the
crossbar is centered to the front of the vehicle — measure
the distance between the side of one QD and the side of
the mounting bracket it is attached to. Then, make certain
there is an equal distance between the other QD and the
other mounting bracket.
The quick-disconnects must be centered on the
mounting brackets. If they are attached too far to the
left or the right, the tow bar will not be centered on
the towed vehicle, which will cause excessive tire wear
and other consequential, non-warranty damage.
4.
Once the crossbar slides on and off easily, torque the
four bolts to 75 ft./lbs.
Again, test-fit the
crossbar over the QDs,
to verify that the cross-
bar slides on and off eas-
ily. If it does not, adjust
the QDs again.
5.
Both linch pins
must
be
inserted through the upper
holes in the vertical pins in
parts “A” and “B,” as shown
in Figure 2.
Both linch pins must be
locked. The rings (Figure 3)
are spring-loaded — they must be snapped over the pins,
as shown in Figure 3, with the curved side of the linch
pin touching the ring, in order to keep the QD bases
secure.
Towing vibrations will force the linch pins out un-
less they are properly locked in place over the vertical
pins on both quick-disconnects. Refer to Figure 3.
Failure to install the linch pins properly will result in
tow bar malfunction, loss and damage to the vehicle
and property, personal injury or even death.
