Important:

Use only genuine factory replacement parts on your baseplate. Do NOT substitute homemade or non-typical parts. If a bolt is lost or in
need of replacement, for your safety and the preservation of your baseplate, be sure to use a replacement bolt of the same grade (In most
cases it will be Grade 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.
