1. Extent and Duration of this Warranty:

Your Demco product has a Lifetime Limited warranty to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service from date of purchase by the original (first) retail owner, or until it is resold or transferred by the original owner.

If your Demco product develops a defect during the warranty period, promptly notify Dethmers Manufacturing Co. customer service department. Until such notice is received, Warrantor will not be responsible for any repair or replacement.

Upon receipt of notice from you, Warrantor will have a choice of options in replacing any part it determines to be defective:

In addition, the warranty does not extend to repairs made necessary by normal use of parts, accessories or other equipment which in the judgment of Warrantor, are either incompatible with the Demco product, or affect its operation, performance or durability.

This warranty does not cover:

1) normal wear and tear

2) road film or gravel damage to paint

3) paint

4) rust damage

Warrantor has a policy of continuous product improvement. We reserve the right to change or improve the design of any Demco product, including but not limited to state of the art changes, without assuming any obligation to modify any product previously manufactured.

Warrantor assumes no responsibility to the owner for loss of use of the product, loss of time, inconvenience or other damage consequential or otherwise, including, but not limited to expense for gasoline, expense of transporting the product to the dealer and expense of returning the product, mechanic’s travel time, telephone or telegram charges, road service/towing charges, rental of another product during the time warranty repairs are being performed, travel, lodging, loss or damage to personal property or loss of revenue or earnings.

5. Limitations of Implied Warranties:

All implied warranties, if any, expire and terminate upon expiration of this warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you.

b) Warrantor may elect to ship a new part to its dealer

to be exchanged free of charge for the defective part returned by you to the dealer.

c) Warrantor may elect to ship or deliver a replace-

ment part to your address.

4. Limitations on Warranty Coverage:

WARNING:

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF TOWING VEHICLE CONTROL,

SEPARATION OF THE TOW BAR FROM THE TOWING VEHICLE, SEPARATION OF THE TOWED VEHICLE FROM THE TOW BAR, CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

CAUTION

Safety is of utmost importance at all times. There are several items that must be checked each time before using and while using a tow bar. Before allowing anyone to hook up or operate a tow bar, be sure they have read and understand the proper operating procedure.

DO NOT use worn or damaged cables and/or pins. Be sure the SAFETY CABLES are hooked, chassis to chassis, to both the towing

and towed vehicles using the crisscross method. Check clearance between vehicles in a turning situation. Check base plate mounting bolts for tightness and frame for metal fatigue. Do not load the towed vehicle with anything as you may exceed the towing

capacity of the tow bar. Keep fingers away from pivot points to prevent personal injury. Be sure the steering components of the towed vehicle are properly aligned. NOTE: This unit can be backed up in moderate increments. Any severe

backwards cornering could result in damage to the Tow Bar and/or towed vehicle chassis.

For automatic transmissions: Consult your vehicle owners manual for towing suitability with the drive shaft connected. Otherwise, the towed vehicle will have to be equipped with a transmission pump or drive shaft disconnect.

Check to make sure that all lights are in proper working order.

The information on towability of vehicles is reprinted with permission of MotorHome© Magazine, and is believed to be reliable. However, Demco does not warrant the information to be correct. Always consult your towed vehicle owner’s manual and follow towing instructions. Each year, MotorHome© Maga- zine, compiles a list of vehicles that can be towed four-down behind a motorhome

with no modifications required. This guide contains only those vehicles that have been approved by their manufacturers for towing. This list is enclosed

with this manual.

Caution: MotorHome© Magazine left out any vehicles that have towing speed limits slower than 55 m.p.h., or distance limits of less than 200 miles. At a minimum, these vehicles require significant modification, such as the use of an aftermarket product, to make them towable. The availability of a Demco Tow Bar Base Plate does not imply that these vehicles can be modified or that there is an aftermarket product available. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or consult your dealer to determine whether your vehicle can be modified to make it towable. Failure to observe this precaution could result in property damage or personal injury.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION ITEMS

DEMCO products and accessories are intended to be installed by professional installers with experience, proper equipment and the ability to do modification work. Installers with these qualifications can be found in RV and Automotive Service Centers.

If the car to be towed has been in an accident, the chassis may be damaged in an area where the Base Plate attaches. It may no longer be suitable for towing. Extreme caution and careful examination are required in such a situation. It is also likely, even from a minor accident, that the hole alignment will be more difficult due to hole alignment problems.

Many DEMCO Base Plates are designed to use existing holes and hardware to mount the Base Plate to the towed vehicle. Even though the bolt is there, however, do not assume it is adequate for mounting the Base Plate. Manufacturers make many changes in hardware both within and between model years. Be sure the bolt is long enough to protrude past the nut a distance no less than 1/2 the diameter of the bolt, after the Base Plate is mounted. The threads should be in good condition. We require that " Blue" be used on all bolts. If a new bolt is required, be sure it is SAE Grade 5 or Metric

8.8.

NOTE: The dimensional variations between otherwise

identical vehicles can be considerable. Some minor modifications may have to be made to ensure a proper fit.
