Installation Instructions

405-0443 Page 2 of 6 10/12/15

Instruction Notes: The headlights, grille and bumper are removed and reinstalled for the baseplate

installation. Some drilling and trimming is required.

Place all components that are removed on a at, sturdy surface. All items will be reinstalled unless

otherwise noted after the baseplate is installed.

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 vehicle manufacturer’s tolerances.

The BX8869 Tail Light Wiring Kit is recommended for this vehicle.

Drill a hole according to the tail

light wiring kit instructions.

NOTICE

• Handling of some cosmetic parts when installing this product may require the use of protective

covers, rags, specialty tools, etc. to prevent damage.

• When using power drills be aware of the dangers of torque and drill bit length.

• When using a reciprocating saw be aware of objects behind the cutting surface.

• Use a good quality paint to spray cut edges of frame to prevent rusting.

• Be sure that ALL electrical connections are plugged in and accessories are functioning properly

before reinstalling the fascia.

• The baseplate is computer tested to your vehicle’s GVWR, exceeding this weight will void the

manufacturer’s warranty.

• Be sure to use a sufcient amount of Loctite®Red on all bolt threads before tightening. Tighten all

bolts according to the torque chart provided.

• Dealer or installer be certain the user receives these instruction sheets.

• If the baseplate is in an accident, it must be replaced. DO NOT use it again! An accident can

cause unseen damage and using it again could result in more damage or serious injury. DO NOT

use the baseplate if it is damaged or missing parts.

5, please reference the parts list above). Replacement parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox® Dealer or Distributor. Failing to follow and/

or altering these installation instructions in either installation or required equipment will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Towing behind a non-motorized

vehicle will void the warranty.

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).
