TIE DOWN STRAPS
The MPL40 is supplied with a set of high strength polyester web tie down
straps. They are to be used to secure wheels of the towed vehicle to the
wheel lift grid. NEVER TOW A VEHICLE WITHOUT THE TIE DOWN
STRAPS INSTALLED.
The tie down strap assembly is
comprised of 2 basic components:
1. The Strap/Hook Assembly
2. The Ratchet Spool
Mechanism
The following steps should be
followed to properly install the tie
down straps:
USING THE RATCHET SPOOL MECHANISM
1. First the spool must be set into
“free spool”. This is done by
pulling the lock bar out and
swinging the handle upward until
it rests in the free spool notch and
then simply pulling out the
amount of strap required to fit over
the tire.
2. Now pull on the lock bar and move
it downward until it engages the
ratchet teeth on the take up spool.
By pushing and pulling the handle
up and down, the strap will be
wound onto the spool.
