This users manual is written to familiarize opera-
tors with the safe and efficient operation of the Chief
PHOENIX. The PHOENIX machine features unibody
and full frame repair capabilities with 360 degree pull-
ing access around the vehicle.
Two towers are provided with the PHOENIX and up to
two more can be added as optional equipment. Each
tower mounts to the bottom plate of the mainframe.
A unique tower roller design allows easy movement
around the machine and a “Sure-Lock” force clamp
secures the tower to the mainframe when making a
pull. Each tower is equipped with one 10-ton hydraulic
ram operated by an electric over hydraulic pump. The
machine is hydraulically posiitoned at various working
heights, and tilts hydraulically for either drive-on or
winch-on positioning of vehicles.
