tension or torque.
An occasional drop of oil may be required on the moving
parts of the tie down winches.

miles.
Grease the main frame platform skids every 1500 miles.
These grease zerks are readily accessible from under
the front tire stop main platform.

IMPORTANT LOADING INSTRUCTION
Check your wheel tie-down straps.
Your Tow-It is equipped with custom made wheel
tie-down straps of a standard size that will fit most
tires, however if your tires are too large or too small
you will want to exchange these new straps for the
proper size straps.
1. Tire too large -
This is very obvious. The strap
will not basket over the tire properly; call us,
we will provide at NO Charge on an exchange
basis, the proper size strap. You must return
your new unused straps and provide us with
the Make and Model of your car and the tire
size.
2. Tire too small -
This is not as obvious. The
basket will fit down over the tire very well; the
problems cannot be readily seen. You must
tighten the straps down solid and then check
on the inside of the tire and be sure the strap,
when tightened, does not come in contact with
any metal that may cause wear or cutting such
as strut mounts. If there is contact, you need a
smaller strap, call us, we will provide on a NO
Charge, exchange basis, the proper size strap.
You must return your new unused straps and
provide us with the Make and Model of your
car and tire size.

Safety is of utmost importance at all times. There are
several items that must be checked each time before
using and while using the Tow-It.
Make sure all bolts are properly tightened and those
requiring a set torque are up to specifications:
Lug Nuts - 75 to 80 ft./lbs.
Check Lug Nut tension after the first 5 miles and
periodically thereafter.
The ball hitch must latch securely around the ball and
the safety lock pin or lever must be in position to lock the
hitch on the ball.
RECOMMENDED BALL HEIGHT: 18 inches to the top
of the ball on the towing vehicle.
Hook the towed vehicle safety chains to the frame of the
vehicle directly above the area where the chain is
mounted on the Tow-It. Leave some slack in the chain
to allow suspension movement.
Check to make sure that all lights are in proper working
order.
Examine the winches and straps, making sure they are
in good conditon.
Be certain the safety lock pins are locking the strap
winches.
Retighten straps over the tires after the first 5 miles and
every 50 miles thereafter. Ensure that they are tight.
The TI110 tires must be inflated to the recommended 35
PSI.
The TI110SB tires must be inflated to the recommended
50 PSI.
The strap on the optional tongue winch must be in good
condition and should be stored neatly on winch when
not in use.
NOTE: The winch strap must not be left connected to
the towed vehicle after it is loaded and strapped down.
Make sure the optional light bar is fastened securely at
the rear of the towed vehicle.
The wires to the optional light bar should be run along the
car and fastened so as not to damage the finish of the
towed vehicle.

All vehicles mounted on the Tow-It must be mounted
with the front of the vehicle facing forward.
