ROADSAFE RP-AMA01 Recovery Tow Points

Product Information

The product is a tow point designed for fitment on a Volkswagen Amarok vehicle with a factory standard bar. It has a part number RP-AMA01 and is FEA rated to 5000kgs per tow point. The product has Australian Design Registration – 201610654.

Product Usage Instructions

Before starting the installation of the tow points, ensure that all supplied and specified components are used. Failure to do so can significantly reduce the working load limit (WLL) specified for each individual point, which can result in serious injury or death.

Fitting of RH Point:

1. Place the tow point into position by sliding it over the front bumper assembly.
2. Insert an M16 bolt through the upper-back hole in the chassis rail with a flat washer on each side of the chassis rail. Loosely fasten the supplied nyloc nut.
3. Insert an M12 bolt through the front upper hole in the chassis rail with a washer on each side of the chassis rail. Loosely fasten the nyloc nut supplied.
4. Fit an M16 x 90mm bolt with a split washer and a 50mm x 5mm washer into the factory tie-down anchor point. Insert 30mm OD packers behind the point against the factory tie-down point, choosing the appropriate thickness spacers provided.
5. Fit an M12 x 60mm bolt with a flat washer through the front cross member, ensuring to include the collar supplied with the bull bar in the cross member.
6. Once all bolts are installed, tighten them to the relevant forces as shown in the table on Page 2 of the manual.

Fitting of LH Point:

1. Remove the left-hand front body mount bolt and remove the lower bushing as pictured, keeping it for refitment later.
2. Place the tow point into position and insert a 16mmx140mm bolt with a washer through the rear upper hole in the chassis rail. Place a washer and nyloc nut on the inside of the chassis rail.
3. Repeat step 2 with a 12mmx140mm bolt in the remaining hole in the chassis rail, using a washer on each side and a nyloc nut.
4. Insert a 12mmx60mm bolt through the front bumper cross member, using a washer on each side and the supplied nyloc nut. Make sure the bolt goes through the collar from bull bar fitment in the member.
5. The rearmost mount utilizes a machined crush tube through the chassis rail. Use an M16x100mm bolt with a large 50mm OD washer to be fitted from the inside of the chassis rail, threading into the tow point behind the body mount. It is recommended to apply a small amount of thread locker to this bolt.
