WELDING
The weight rating of the coupler is dependent on
the correct bolts being used. You must use the
bolts provided with the product. If you are miss-
ing bolts, refer to your Operatorís Manual and ob-
tain replacements from Demco, or use the exact
size, grade, and number of bolts as specified. Us-
ing the wrong size, grade, or number of bolts will
reduce the weight rating of the coupler and could
cause separation of your towing equipment from
the towing vehicle. If you have questions about
the correct bolts for your application call Demco
at any of the following telephone numbers:
