IR - (Installation Rating) is a rough measure of the time required for baseplate or bracket installation by a trained installer. These numbers can be used as rough suggested installation time by a trained installer. The first installation of a particular baseplate, and installation by untrained individuals will likely increase installation time substantially.

Type - R indicates Blue Ox baseplates that have removable attachment tabs, S indicates Blue Ox baseplates with standard attachment tabs, and D indicates Duncan bracket kits. Duncan bracket kits require the BX1108 adapter to use a Blue Ox towbar.

Wiring - Vehicles that will accept a BX8869 wiring kit are denoted with 69, those that need the BX8811 wiring kit an 11, and those that require a BX8847 wiring kit a 47. All vehicles noted with NS are not known at this time.

T. A T in the model notes, indicates vehicles that to the knowledge of Blue Ox may be towed without the addition of a drive shaft disconnect or lube pump. Honda's have a special procedure for towing (See Blue Ox Service Bulletins SB218 & SB219) and GM vehicles with the 4T40E or 4T45E automatic transmissions must have a fuse pulled for towing. For all other vehicles, please contact Remco Mfg. at 1-800-228-2481. In all instances, consult your vehicle's owner's manual before towing!

Tow bar adapters are not to be used with vehicles weighing over 5000 lbs.
12. Baseplate has non-24" spaced attachment tabs. Requires either a motorhome mounted tow bar or an adapter to utilize a car mounted tow bar. The BX88153 adapter can not be used on non 24" baseplates. See "Accessories" on back page. Tow bar adapters are not to be used with vehicles weighing over 5000 lbs.
13. Use only with motorhome mount tow bars or the BX8833 or BX88151 adapters. Removable tabs with only one hole will not attach to car mount tow bars or other adapters. The Acclaim may only be used with removable tab baseplates that have 24" spaced tabs.
14. Due to a tail light bulb out indicator in the wiring system, Jeep Grand Cherokee's must be wired with a BX8869 wiring kit. The BX8811 wiring kit can not be used.
15. Specific dinghy towing restrictions apply. They may include specific towing speeds and distances, and/or lubricating the transmission and transfer case with the engine idling, then running selector through the gears.
