9. Using suitable straps, 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 all directions. Ensure that the straps are not making
contact with any other part of the trailer or cargo, and that they are set with
enough tension as to compress the suspension and prevent vehicle
movement during transport.
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. Do not lay straps over any sharp
edges. Sharp edges may damage straps during transportation.
10. 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.
WARNING
Do not exceed the towing vehicle's or trailers towing capacity when
transporting. Refer to the towing vehicle and trailers specifications.
