INSTALLING THE TIE DOWN STRAPS
1. With the vehicle lifted just barely
off the ground, attach the strap to
the wheel restraints. Be sure the
hook on the ratchet is securely
seated in the wheel restraint.
2. Set the ratchet spool in “free
spool” position and pull the
webbed strap out and form a
loop which will wrap around the
tire. Be sure the loop is over a
minimum of 1/3 of the tire.
3. Take up the slack in the strap by
ratcheting the take-up spool arm.
Continue until the tires show
some compression. Repeat for
other side.
4. Raise the wheel grid to the
towing position.
Never tow a vehicle without
tire tie-down straps and
safety chains installed..
Re-tighten the ratchet
periodically as the tire settles
in grid from towing.
