How To Setup The BikeTow
Before you begin:

• BikeTow™ requires a standard 2" receiver hitch rated for at least a 400 lb tongue weight.
  
  
• The recommended height for using the BikeTow™ is between 11" and 14". If your hitch is higher than 14” from the ground to the top of the hitch, use a receiver step-down mount.
  
  
• We recommend removing the windshield on some motorcycles.
  
  
• You must use two (2) people to load and unload the motorcycle.
  
  

Setup Procedure
	Slide the main unit into the vehicle’s hitch receiver (class 3) and insert the lock pin. If the vehicle’s hitch is higher than 16” from the ground, use a hi-lo receiver mount to lower the hitch height.
	Insert yellow lock pin flag into the main unit to prevent swivel during loading.
	Slide right and left front arms into unit and secure with lock pins.
	Insert ramp onto main unit.
	Roll motorcycle up ramp onto the BikeTow unit and steady (if necessary, remove windshield first).
	Have assistant, attach heavy duty ratchet straps from handle bars to right and left front arms of unit. Tighten straps until front shocks are fully compressed. Make sure motorcycle is balanced on the unit.
