How to Connect a Towbar

Being able to connect a tow bar could be the difference between getting home and spending the night by the side of a road. A tow bar is a far safer means of towing a vehicle than using rope, and it will fit almost any vehicle. To be able to connect a tow bar, the towing vehicle must have a trailer hitch fitted at the rear.

Instructions

1

Reverse the towing vehicle so that its rear is about 4 feet from the front of the disabled vehicle. Apply the emergency brake on the vehicle to be towed.

2

Fix the coupler at the front of the tow bar to the trailer ball hitch at the rear of the towing vehicle. Place the T-J bar at the rear of the tow bar into the shipping slots on the underneath of the disabled vehicle. Pull the tie-down straps that are linked to the T-J bar through the hand ratchets on the tow bar.

3

Release the emergency brake on the disabled vehicle and pull it toward the tow vehicle, manually, using the tie-down straps. When the bumper of the broken-down vehicle is flush with the tow bar bumper stops, stop pulling and secure the excess straps using the Velcro bindings.

4

Attach the tow bar safety cable in case one of the tie-down straps breaks during towing. The safety cable hooks onto the shipping slots at the front of the broken-down vehicle and rear of the towing vehicle. The two vehicles are now connected.
