FITTING: to a 2.W.D. model
Before starting, check materials list to ensure that all parts are present.
1. Lower spare wheel using the supplied wheel brace. (Often located behind the rear seats.)
2. Disconnect the rear fog lamp. Remove and discard the mounting bracket.
3. Offer up Side Plates (B) to the outer facing edge of the chassis rail and loosely attach using disc spring washers and Bolts (L).
Note: If forward holes (Q) are present in the chassis rail, slide Captive Straps (C) through the chassis rail and fix using Bolts (Q). However if
holes are not already present in the chassis rail either drill through the side of the chassis rail using Side Plates (B) as a guide and fix as
above or contact Witter Towbars for further advice. (Note: Bend Captive Strap (C) to prevent vibration noise).
4. Remove existing bolts in the chassis at (M). Align brackets (H) and loosely attach using Bolts (N). Ensure washers (OD 25mm) are
sandwiched between Brackets (H) and Sideplates (B). Also attach brackets (H) to the vertical mountings using Bolts and disc spring
washers (M).
5. Place Crossbar (A) between side plates (B), and attach in its upper most position using bolts (P).
6. Fix the Fog Light to bracket (E) using the original bolts, and fix Bracket (E) to Side Plate (B) using bolt (V). Note: Ensure Fog Lamp is visible
when viewed from behind.
7. Raise the spare wheel (may deflect forwards slightly) and fully tighten every bolt to the recommended torque.
Note: This towbar must be used with either a Witter Towball (part number Z11) or Class A50-1 or A50-X towball dimensionally
Conforming to A50-1 with a ‘D’ and 'S' value greater than or equal to that of the towbar.
Please refer to the vehicle specification for the trailer weight and nose limits, which must be observed.
Recommended torque settings: M8 - 27Nm, M10 - 53 Nm, M12 - 95 Nm, M14 - 150 Nm, M16 - 214 Nm
