Tow Dolly Hookup

  1. Ensure that the hitch and hitch ball is securely attached to the tow vehicle and that they both have a minimum rating of 5,000 lbs.
    NOTE:
    The Hitch ball must be 2” in diameter. Never attempt to pull the tow dolly with an under or oversized hitch ball.
  2. It is important that your hitch ball height be between 18 and 20 inches from the ground to the top of the ball. This will ensure proper ramp to ground and ramp to under-car clearance. For longer motor homes where rear frame-dragging is common, a hitch height of 20” to 24” may be required to maintain ramp to under-car clearance.
  3. Release and pull the coupler locking handle on the tow dolly coupler to the upright position. Hook the tow dolly coupler on the hitch ball ensuring that the coupler socket fully encloses the hitch ball. Lock the coupler on the ball by folding the coupler locking handle down until the spring-loaded catch locks in place. Pull up the on the tow dolly tongue to ensure that the coupler is locked.
  4. Connect the safety chains to the tow vehicle frame by crossing them under the tow dolly tongue. If chains cannot be attached to the tow vehicle frame, hook the chains to the bumper or another secure attachment point on the tow vehicle. Safety chains need very little slack for turning. Ensure that the chains do not drag. Shorten them if they are dragging and reattach to tow vehicle.
  5. Plug the lights from the tow dolly into an appropriately wired light socket on the tow vehicle. Ensure that all lights are functioning properly. Tow dolly hookup is now complete.

Vehicle-in-Tow

NOTE:

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the vehicle-in-tow is not too wide for the tow dolly being used. Prior to towing, it is recommended that a practice tow be performed where an assistant can watch while turns are made to ensure tow dolly fender to vehicle-in-tow door clearance.

NOTE:

  • Car-Tow is not responsible or liable for any damage to the vehicle-in-tow occurring while towing on tow dolly.
  • When towing with this model dolly, the vehicle-in-tow must not be wider than 78” at the doors or running boards to prevent them from coming into contact with the tow dolly fenders during turns.

NOTE:

The dimensions above are to be used as a guideline and do not guarantee clearance.
