the retainers when accessible.
6. Install hitch – Raise the hitch into position, loosely secure the hitch to the vehicle frame using the factory bolts and the provided flat head socket cap screw. Move the exhaust out of the way
if necessary.
7. Tighten all M14 fasteners with torque wrench to 115 Ft.Lb. (156 N*M) and 3/4" fastener to 250 Ft.Lb. (339 N*M)

removed and replaced. Observe safety precautions when working beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch. This product complies with safety specifications and requirements for connecting devices
and towing systems of the state of New York, V.E.S.C. Regulation V-5 and SAE J684.
