1. Remove three bolts with a 10MM socket. Do

this to both sides of the vehicle. Set bolts

aside to be reinstalled later.

Vehicle Weight: The weight of this

vehicle is near the Class III, 5,000 lb. rating

limitations. Some models, depending on

options, may well exceed this 5,000 lb

rating. Be sure to conrm the weight of your

individual vehicle before towing. As of 1999

the Aventa® II is now 10,000 lbs. and either the

Aventa® II or the Aventa® LX tow bar must be

used for these applications.

Tow Bar Adapters are NOT to be used with

vehicles weighing over 5,000 lbs.

Installation Notes: The grille and

bumper are removed and reinstalled during

installation of the baseplate. Trimming of the

fascia is required.

The dimensional variations between otherwise

identical vehicles can be considerable.

While the baseplate was designed for easy

installation, it may be necessary to tailor the

baseplate slightly to compensate for auto

manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor

adjustments may include ling a hole slightly,

bending electrical rods and/ or bending end

plates.

The BX8869 Bulb & Socket Wiring Kit is

recommended for this vehicle.

Permanent Baseplate Safety Cable Installation

Permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended when towing a vehicle with a tow bar.

The principle function of the permanent baseplate safety cables is to prevent the towed vehicle from

breaking loose in the event the connection between the frame of the towed vehicle and the baseplate

fails or becomes disconnected. The cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail

or cross member of the vehicle’s frame. The illustrations below show the possible arrangements

recommended by Blue Ox®. Each permanent baseplate safety cable must have an adequate weight

rating for the towing system. The weight rating of the two (2) cables together will not qualify.

Do not mount the permanent baseplate safety cables against wires, hoses or brake lines.

These permanent baseplate safety cables should remain installed as long as the baseplate is

installed on the vehicle. Permanent baseplate safety cables are to be used in conjunction with,

and NOT a replacement for legally required safety cables attaching the towed vehicle to the towing

vehicle.

Notice To Baseplate Installer

1. It is YOUR responsibility to watch for:

• Oil cooler and air conditioner lines

• Electrical wires and hoses

• Missing parts or attaching points on the frame

** If the baseplate is improperly installed and is against a wire or hose, it could cause uid leaks or

electrical shorts some time after the actual baseplate installation.

General Information

1. Ensure that your product(s) are registered online at www.blueox.com. It is crucial to register your product(s)

so that you may be alerted of product offerings, updates, upgrades, maintenance and safety bulletins, and/

or recalls.

2. It is the owner’s responsibility to inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn

parts and loose bolts before each towing trip. Be sure to use Loctite®Red on all bolts and tighten to the

recommended specications.

3. It is the owner’s responsibility to hook up all towing equipment per manufacturer’s instructions/

recommendations.

4. Remove the attachment tabs when not in use (if applicable).
