GENERAL NOTES
1. ATTACHMENT HOLES MUST BE DRILLED FOR MOST APPLICATIONS. IN SOME CASES EXISTING HOLES IN FRAME MAY LINE UP WITH SOME OF THE HOLES
IN THE RECEIVER SIDE BRACKETS. WHEN HOLES DO NOT MATCH PRECISELY, FILE OR GRIND MATERIAL FROM THE VEHICLE FRAME TO MATCH THE HOLE

! WARNING: DO NOT CORRECT HOLE MISMATCH BY DRILLING, BECAUSE DRILL CAN SUDDENLY BIND CAUSING DRILL MOTOR TO "KICK BACK"
2. W HEN POSITIONING RECEIVER ON VEHICLE FRAME, MAKE SURE THAT THE CROSSTUBE ASSEMBLY DOES
NOT CONTACT ANY GAS TANK SUPPORTS OR SPARE TIRE HANGER BRACKETS IF VEHICLE IS SO
EQUIPPED.
3. BE CAREFUL TO AVOID DRILLING INTO THE FUEL TANK, WIRES AND FUEL OR BRAKE LINES THAT ARE
SOMETIMES LOCATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE FRAME SECTIONS.
4. DEBURR ALL EDGES OF ANY HOLES DRILLED THROUGH FRAME AND/OR CROSSMEMBERS. PROPER
DEBURRING WILL ENSURE THAT FASTENERS AND SIDE BRACKETS WILL SIT FLAT.
5. ALW AYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN DRILLING.
6. LICENSE PLATE MOUNTING BRACKET WILL HAVE TO BE RELOCATED ON VEHICLES WITHOUT A FACTORY
INSTALLED BUMPER.
OR DRILL BIT TO BREAK, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.
