SwayPro™ Owner’s Manual nstallation nstructions 405-0120 Rev K Page 2 of 10 8/16/13 Welcome to the Blue Ox® Family The SwayPro™ is a revolutionary hitch that not only handles weight distribution but sway control as well by using the combination of loaded spring bars, easy to use rotating latches and an integrated hitch head. May 13, 2009 With my shamrock 21ss I used the equalizer and with my current rv I am using the blue Ox sway pro. Both are good. The Blue ox I have with current set up is setup by dealer that did not know what they were doing and it took me some time to get it dialed in but now I really like it.

SAFETY
DO NOT INSTALL, OPERATE OR USE THIS EQUIPMENT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING
OPERATING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD.
This symbol is used to bring attention to safety precautions and instructions. When
you see this symbol, be alert and pay attention to all instructions. YOUR PER-
SONAL SAFETY IS INVOLVED.
1. Blue Ox Tow Bars should only be used with vehicles
that are towable or have been equipped to be towed.
2. Follow towing procedures in the vehicle owners
Blue Ox Sway Pro Installation Manual
manual.
3. Tow with steering wheel in the unlocked position.
4. Be sure the front end of the towed vehicle is properly
aligned. Misaligned vehicles may cause poor track-
ing or abnormal wear on the tires.
5. The use of safety cables or chains are required
by law in most states of the United States as well
as Canadian territories and provinces. Follow
state or territory recommendations. Blue Ox
strongly recommends the use of safety cables
(BX88196, Class III or BX88197, Class IV) and
permanent safety cables (BX88207, Class III or
BX88208, Class IV) with all applications of tow-
ing. Please refer to their specifi c installation
instructions for more information.
6. Check clearance between vehicles in all turning
Blue Ox Sway Pro Manual
situations. Check the height difference in your towing
set up and make appropriate adjustments by follow-
ing the recommendations of the towbar instruction
manual.
7. Rear lighting is required on the towed car. Blue OX
offers lighting kits to cover all of your lighting needs.
Contact your Blue Ox representative for more infor-
mation.
8. Prior to usage, inspect all towing equipment for
cracked welds, missing or worn parts and loose bolts.
9. Disconnect the towed vehicle from the towing vehicle
before backing up. Do Not Back Up while vehicles
are connected! Damage to both vehicles and the
towing system may occur. The towed vehicle may
jack knife causing abnormal stress to the tow bar, car
chassis, baseplate and/or pintle hitch of the towing
vehicle. These abnormal stresses may cause dam-
age that may go undetected.
10. Avoid sharp turns and rough terrain. Check towing
set up after any emergency situation and/or periodi-
cally on a long trip.
11. Do not use the towed vehicle for storing luggage,
etc.; causing you to exceed the towing capacity
of the tow bar, baseplate, and its accessories.
SAFETY CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Utilizing the hooks, attach the cables to a solid
Blue Ox Sway Pro Hitch
part of the chassis on the towed vehicle or the
convenience links of the baseplate. Verify the safety
snap clicks back against the hook in order to prevent
disconnection. (See Fig. 3)

2. Adjust slack if needed. Cables should not come
in contact with the ground, pintle coupler or the
locking handles; damage could occur! DO NOT USE
DAMAGED CABLES! Route cables away from the
locking handles. Safety cable contact with a locking
handle could cause the leg to become unlatched and
collapse, leading to major damage to one or both
vehicles and towing equipment. NOTE: DO NOT
WRAP SAFETY CABLES AROUND THE LEGS!
3. Verify the load capacity of cables or chains used that
meets the needs of the towing set up.
