Installation Instructions

1. Using the 3/4” Socket and wrench,
replace the existing bolts of the tow bar
legs with the leg supports and 1/2”-13
essna jam nuts.

2. Slide the KarGardTM II onto the receiver
tube of the tow bar, then install the tow
bar onto the towing vehicle per the tow
bar instructions. Extend the legs of the
tow bar until the leg support lines up to
the holes in the clamp brackets. Install
the 3/16” linch pins to secure together.

3. Hook up the tow bar to the towed vehicle
per the tow bar instructions. Slide the front
arm torwards the motorhome along the
receiver mount until the screen is tight, then
tighten the bolts on the underside to secure
in place.

Use an exhaust “turn down” to redirect the engine exhaust, if located directly below the

KarGard™ II. The KarGard™ II fabric may be warped or otherwise damaged if a turn down is
not installed, or if other exhausts which cannot be redirected are in close proximity to the fabric.
