Instruction Manual

REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPER OPERATION
A. You must have a two (2) inch square receiver type
hitch on your towing vehicle that aligns within two
(2) inches of the height of the tow bar.
NOTE: The tow bar may slope upward toward the
towing vehicle, but should not slope downward
toward the towing vehicle.
The AutoStop needs a level push on the ball
mount tube to operate properly. This requires that
the height of the re-
ceiver tube be adjusted
rather than the height
of the ball as happens
normally.
There are several
options available if
you need to adjust the
receiver tube height.
A two (2) inch drop can
be achieved by welding
another receiver tube
under the existing re-
ceiver tube. (Figure 1)
A six (6) inch drop re-
ceiver is available that
pins into the existing
receiver. (Figure 2)
The AutoStop shown in Figure 3 is set up as it
comes from the factory.
 TheAutoStopcanbereconguredtogiveathree
(3) inch rise as shown in Figure 4.
NOTE: If this conguration is used, the internal parts
will need to be rotated so that the actuator cable
still protrudes from the lower driver’s corner of the
AutoStop. See Disassembly / Assembly instruc-
REQUIREMENTS
tions Page 5-8.
Combining the drop receiver and a rise in the Au-
toStop will give a four (4) inch drop. (Figure 5)
B. You may use any conventional style tow bar with
the hitch ball at the towing vehicle. (No reversed
tow bars).
C. You must tow the vehicle with all four (4) wheels
on the ground.
D. The loaded weight of the towed vehicle must not
exceed the weight rating of any of the towing
accessory components such as; the tow bar, the
hitch ball, the receiver hitch, the receiver cross pin,
the safety chains, or the AutoStop.
NOTE: The AutoStop does not allow you to tow
more than the ratings of your towing hardware, it
just reduces the stopping distance of the combina-
tion.
