8. Using tie-down straps of suitable Working Load Limit (WLL), secure the
vehicle to the trailer at the designated tie-down points (front and rear). The
straps must be secured in a manner that provides support in both vertical
and lateral directions. Ensure that they are set with enough tension as to
compress the suspension and prevent vehicle movement during transport.
Do not allow the secured straps to make contact with any other part of the
trailer or cargo.
CAUTION
Always use the provided tie-down points. Not using the provided vehicle
tie-down points could lead to premature component failure and/or excess wear
on the tie-down straps.
WARNING
Always secure the vehicle with at least four straps when trailering. Use two
straps in the front, and two in the rear.
WARNING
Never use chains to tie down the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not lay straps over any sharp edges. Sharp edges may damage straps
during transportation.
9. Periodically inspect the vehicle and trailer during transit. Adjust cargo and
straps as needed to ensure that the cargo cannot shift, or fall from the trailer
or towing vehicle.
