Safety Sign Care

•  Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.

•  Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible.

•  Replacement parts that displayed a safety sign should also display current sign.

•  Safety signs are available from your distributor, dealer parts department,  or factory.

How to install safety signs:

•  Be sure installation surface is clean and dry.

•  Decide on exact position before you remove backing paper.

•  Remove smallest portion of split backing paper.

•  Align decal over specified area and carefully press small portion with exposed sticky backing in place.

•  Slowly peel back remaining paper and carefully smooth remaining portion of decal into place.

•  Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using piece of decal backing paper.

•   Carefully study and understand this manual.

•  Give tow bar a visual inspection for any loose bolts, worn parts, or cracked welds, and make necessary repairs. Follow mainte-

nance safety instructions included in this manual.

•  Be sure there are no tools lying on tow bar, towing unit or towed vehicle. 

•  Do not use tow bar until you are sure that area is clear, especially around children and animals.

•  Don’t hurry learning process or take tow bar for granted. Ease into it and become familiar with your new tow unit.

•  Practice operation of your tow unit and its attachments. Completely familiarize yourself and other operators with its operation 

before using.

•  Securely attach to towing unit. Use an appropriately sized and rated hitch ball and/or a class III, class IV receiver and attach 

safety cables.

•  Criss cross safety cables under tow bar, secure to mounting loops on towing vehicle.

•  Do not allow anyone to stand between vehicles when backing up.

•  Make sure tow rating on towing unit is high enough for what it is towing.

•  To prevent swaying of towed vehicle insure all tires are inflated to specifications. Failure to inflate tires evenly will result in 

towed vehicle to pull unevenly.
