4.5 SECURING VEHICLE
Each Standard Duty XLP Carrier is supplied with a set of high strength
polyester web tie-down strap and chain assemblies. They are to be used to
secure the vehicle to the carrier deck. NEVER TOW A VEHICLE WITHOUT
TIE-DOWNS INSTALLED.
For specialty equipment other than vehicles, the
user assumes all responsibility for choosing and providing the proper tie-
down devices.
The tie-down strap and chain
assembly is comprised of the
following components:
1. (2) RTJ Hook Cluster Chains
2. (2) RTJ Hook Cluster Straps
3. (2) Ratchet Spool
Mechanisms
Follow these steps to properly
install the tie-down strap and chain
assemblies:
USING THE RATCHET SPOOL MECHANISM
1. First set the spool into “free
spool”. This is done by pulling
the lock bar out and swinging the
handle upward until it rests in the
free spool notch and then simply
pulling out the amount of strap
required to fit over the tire.
2. Now pull on the lock bar and
move it downward until it engages
the ratchet teeth on the take up
spool. By pushing and pulling the
handle up and down, the strap
will be wound onto the spool.
