17. Raise the vehicle into the nal
towing position observing the
far end for sucient ground
clearance. It is possible to
set the rear of a front lifted
vehicle completely onto the
ground, causing damage. Take
irregular roadsurfaces into
consideration. Observe the lift
function from the side and away
from both vehicles if possible.
18. Power retract the grid boom
until the towed vehicle is about
3 to 4 feet from the back of
the truck. Leave enough room
to maneuver around corners
without corner binding or
causing contact between the
two (2) vehicles. Be sure that
the boom is extended at least
4” to ensure unobstructed
crossbar pivoting.
19. Be sure to maintain sucient
clearances with the bottom of
the towed vehicle.
20. Attach the safety chains and
towing lights. Safety chains
should be crossed from one
side of the recovery vehicle
to the opposite side of the
towed vehicle.
21. Review Operator’s Pre-Transport Checklist before each tow.
For the best towing and
maneuverability the underlift
boom should be as close to
horizontal as possible.
