Installation Steps:
1. Remove the existing bolts from the rearmost exhaust hanger to lower the exhaust. Return the bolts to the owner.
2. Remove the existing bolts from the tow loop. Return the tow loop and bolts to the owner. Access the bolts through the tow loop cut out in the underbody panel on standard Prius models.
3. Position the hitch by raising the driver side plate against the frame rail. This will go through the tow loop cut out in the underbody panel on standard Prius models. Loosely attach the hitch to the weldnuts in the frame using the supplied M12 - 1.25 X 40mm bolts with 1/2" conical toothed washers.
4. Clamp the passenger side plate between the frame rail and exhaust bracket. Secure it using M12 - 1.25 X 40mm bolts with 1/2" conical toothed washers.
5. Torque all 12mm fasteners to 86 ft-lbs.
6. Reinstall the rubber isolator if it was removed in step 1.
7. Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound.
Note: The ball mount must be used in the rise position only.
