General Information

1.  DO NOT modify or add to the product

This product is covered by HOLLAND’s Commercial Products 
Warranty. HOLLAND reserves the right, without giving prior 
notice, to change specifications and dimensions as designs 
are altered or improved.

Mounting

1.  Verify there is adequate clearance to install and inspect 

the drawbar guides. Review drawing on reverse side.

2.  The mounting structure must be of sufficient strength to 

support the additional stresses and loads imparted on the 
structure during the product operation.

3.  Position drawbar guides as shown on reverse side. 

Vertical position is taken from the bottom of the horn to 
the bottom of the tube. Horizontal position is taken from 
the centerline of the hook to the inside edge of the tube.

 

 The Guides are now pre-welded at the proper angle. Weld 
the tubes parallel and perpendicular to the mounting 
surface. No need to angle guides at assembly. Guides 
are also properly paced horizontally so the latch can be 
replaced if needed without removal.

4.  Remove a minimum of one (1) inch of paint from the 

drawbar guide tube where it will be welded  to the 
vehicle. Install drawbar guides with a continuous 3/16" 
(.19") Fillet weld. Refer to drawing on reverse side.

5.  Verify the weld size and integrity before placing vehicle 

in service.

When welding, use a procedure which 
assures a sound, good quality weld which 
protects the welding operator and others. 
Over-welding may cause distortion and 
damage. Under-welding may not develop 
sufficient strength. A low hydrogen process  
and AWS EX70XX filler metal are 
recommended. Take precautions to ensure 
that the vehicle electrical system is not 
damaged by the welding.
