4.12 TIE-DOWN STRAPS - HYDRAULIC GRID
The hydraulic grid is supplied with a set of high-strength polyester web tie-
down straps. They are to be used to secure the wheels of the towed vehicle
to the wheel grid.
The tie-down strap assembly is
comprised of 2 basic components:
1. (2) The Strap/Hook Assemblies
2. (2) The Ratchet Spool
Mechanisms
Follow these steps to properly install
the tie-down straps:
INSTALLING 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.
Never tow a vehicle without the tie-down straps installed.
