Installation Guide
- Unscrew the horizontal bolts that attach the step supports to the chassis. These bolts are located at the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
- Place the tow bar over the chassis beams so that points (A) of the tow bar align with the bumper fixation drillings. On the inside of the chassis, attach the mounting pieces (-h), insert the necessary bolts, washers, and nuts, but do not tighten yet.
- On both sides of the vehicle, unscrew the vertical bolts that fasten the step supports to the chassis. Slide the mounting pieces (-i) and (-j) between the supports and the chassis so that points (F) align with the screw-thread holes in the chassis. Insert the necessary bolts and washers, but do not tighten. Points (C) of the mounting pieces (-i) and (-j) should align with points (C) in the side-plates of the tow bar. Insert the necessary bolts, washers, and nuts here as well.
- Assemble (*) and then tighten everything firmly.
