spacers ② into frame rails through access holes as shown in Figure 2. Leave pull wires
attached. Note: Drivers side rear attachment – vehicle frame could have weldnut if frame
has weldnut see note in step 4.
4. Remove pull wires and loosely install conical washer ③ and hex nut ④ to the hitch.
Note: If there is a weldnut on the driver side frame, use M12 bolt ⑥ and conical washer
⑦ instead.

through the slots in the brackets. Note: Bevel washer ⑧ is needed on drivers side rear attachment
