Hi Michael!
While we don't have a PDF of the Trailer Mate Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # TMT77FR instructions, I can still help. Trailer Mate is Curt's "budget brand" (for the lack of a better way to put it) and the instructions for the Curt # C13386 will be exactly the same. I have those attached to this page for you to check out. And even an install video, though it isn't on an Interceptor model. Should still give you a very good idea of what you will be doing. ^___^
As to the install though, it won't be too bad at all. We have this rated 4 out of 10 for the difficulty and it is a bolt on application (so no drilling or anything like that). You will need to lower the exhaust, but that's pretty much standard for hitch installs nowadays.
What are you planning on using the hitch for? Towing or carry a bike rack or something?

I installed this receiver hitch on my 2019 FPIU without any issues. The included instructions are clear and detailed on how to complete the install. Maybe took me a couple of hours working in my garage. Hardest part was getting the exhaust low enough to clear the hitch during install. Pro tip: be sure to lubricate the exhaust hangers before and after you try to remove and reinstall them.
