Hi Patrick -
The beauty of the two bar is that you don't have to disconnect
anything - just hook up and drive away. Of course, you MUST put your
transmission in neutral or you could seriously damage your motor,
especially is you left in it a low gear. Another tow-bar thing - make
sure that your steering wheel is NOT locked. The front wheels must be
able to steer themselves by the caster effect. Before leaving it is
always a good idea to check 3 things - neutral, unlocked steering, and
parking brake. I know these may sound obvious but people do forget
from time to time. Hope this helps,
Seth
