Follow precautions as described in OEM Manual.
Review TigerTail UT Operation and Maintenance Manual prior to each
use.
1. Position towing vehicle and towed vehicle such that both vehicles are
in line.
2. Place the parking brake on and dismount tow vehicle. Refer to the
OEM manual for proper locations for attach points.
3. Rotate tow system spool to release tension on hook.
4. Pull out rope to ease hook removal from hook storage tab.
5. Attach hook to a secure point on vehicle to be towed as specified in
the OEM.
6. Ensure that the vehicle to be towed is not high-centered.
7. Place the vehicle to be towed in Neutral.
8. Remount the tow vehicle and release the parking brake.
9. Extend rope by driving slowly (2 mph max) away from the vehicle to
be towed.
10. When rope is at full extension (unwound completely off of spool),
gently depress the throttle until towed vehicle is free. Do not “jerk
load” and avoid spinning the tires.
11. Towed vehicle must keep rope at max length while being towed.
While the rope may appear to be taut, this does not imply that the rope
is fully extended.
12. Once both the towing and towed vehicle come to a complete stop,
reverse tow vehicle several feet.
13. Put parking brake on and dismount tow vehicle.
14. Disconnect hook from towed vehicle.
15. Rope may need to be guided to evenly wind on the spool.
Note: Once rope has been used, it will tend to wrap more evenly.
16. Replace hook into storage location and make sure hook is seated.
17. Verify that thimble is seated and ample tension is applied to keep it
secured.
18. Remount tow vehicle and release Parking Brake.
