CLEVIS MOUNT INSTALLATION HOOK-UP INSTALLATION Notes: Installer / owner is responsible for locating rigid mounting points to attach clevis mounts. A structure may need to be fabricated to allow the tow bar to be attached to the frame of the towed vehicle. Step 1 Secure connector weldments (#3) to tow bar arms (#5) with 1/2" - 13 x 3 1/2" hex head cap screws (#7) and 1/2" - 13 top lock flange hex nuts (#10). Tighten the 1/2" hardware until contact is made with both sides of the tow bar arms. See Figure 3.

BEFORE EVERY TOWING USE TOWING PRECAUTIONS Adjust the coupler to fit the trailer ball by turning the nut under the coupler. The coupler latch needs to engage the coupler and the coupler must not be loose on ball. See figure 4. Avoid sharp turns and rough terrain. The coupler latch must be secured with either a clip or a coupler lock (sold separately). See figure 4. Attach two safety chains between the vehicles (sold separately).
