INSTALLING THE TIE-DOWN STRAPS
1. With the vehicle lifted just barely
o the ground, attach the strap
to the L-Arm. Be sure the hook
on the ratchet is securely seated
in the L-Arm.
2. Set the ratchet spool in “free
spool” position and pull the
webbed strap out and form a
loop which will wrap around the
tire. Be sure the loop is over a
minimum of 1/3 of the tire.
3. Take up the slack in the strap by
ratcheting the take-up spool arm.
Continue until the tires show
some compression. Repeat for
other side.
4. Raise the wheel grid to the
towing position.
Never tow a vehicle without
tire tie-down straps and
safety chains installed.
Re-tighten the ratchet
periodically as the tire settles
in grid from towing.
