WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF TOWING VEHICLE CONTROL, SEPARATIOOF THE TOW BAR FROM THE TOWING VEHICLE, SEPARATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE TOW BAR

CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION ITEMS

DEMCO products and accessories are intended to be installed by professional installers with experience, prope

equipment and the ability to do modification work. Installerwith these qualifications can be found in RV and Automotiv

Service Centers.

If the car to be towed has been in an accident, the chassis ma

be damaged in an area where the Base Plate attaches. It mano longer be suitable for towing. Extreme caution and carefu

examination are required in such a situation. It is also likelyeven from a minor accident, that the hole alignment will b

more difficult due to hole alignment problems.

Many DEMCO Base Plates are designed to use existin

holes and hardware to mount the Base Plate to the towedvehicle. Even though the bolt is there, however, do no

assume it is adequate for mounting the Base Plate. Manufac

turers make many changes in hardware both within andbetween model years. Be sure the bolt is long enough tprotrude past the nut a distance no less than 1/2 the diamete

of the bolt, after the Base Plate is mounted. The threadshould be in good condition. We require that "Blue" be used on all bolts. If a new bolt is required, be sur

it is SAE Grade 5 or Metric 8.8.

NOTE:The dimensional variations between otherwise iden-

tical vehicles can be considerable. Some minormodifications may have to be made to ensure aproper fit.

Safety is of utmost importance at all times. There are several

items that must be checked each time before using and whileusing a tow bar.

Before allowing anyone to hook up or operate a tow bar, be surethey have read and understand the proper operating procedure.

DO NOT use worn or damaged cables and/or pins.

Be sure the SAFETY CABLES are hooked, chassis to chassis,to both the towing and towed vehicles using the crisscross

method.

Check clearance between vehicles in a turning situation.

Check base plate mounting bolts for tightness and frame for metalfatigue.

Do not load the towed vehicle with anything as you may exceedthe towing capacity of the tow bar.

Keep fingers away from pivot points to prevent personal injury.

Be sure the steering components of the towed vehicle are

properly aligned.

NOTE: This unit can be backed up in moderate increments.

Any severe backwards cornering could result in damage to theTow Bar and/or towed vehicle chassis.

For automatic transmissions: Consult your vehicle ownersmanual for towing suitability with the drive shaft connected.

Otherwise, the towed vehicle will have to be equipped with atransmission pump or drive shaft disconnect.

Check to make sure that all lights are in proper working order.

The information on towability of vehicles is reprinted with

permission of MotorHome

Magazine, and is believed to bereliable. However, Demcodoes not warrant the information tobe correct. Always consult your towed vehicle owners manual

and follow towing instructions. Each year, MotorHomeMaga-zine, compiles a list of vehicles that can be towed four-down

behind a motorhome with no modifications required. This guide

contains only those vehicles that have been approved by theirmanufacturers for towing. This list is enclosed with this

manual.

Caution:MotorHomeMagazine left out any vehicles that

have towing speed limits slower than 55 m.p.h., or distancelimits of less than 200 miles. At a minimum, these vehicles re-

quire significant modification, such as the use of an aftermarketproduct, to make them towable. The availability of a Demco

Tow Bar Base Platedoes not imply that these vehicles can bemodified or that there is an aftermarket product available. Referto your vehicle owners manual or consult your dealer to deter-

mine whether your vehicle can be modified to make it towable.Failure to observe this precaution could result in property dam-

age or personal injury.
