4.6 “IRL” WHEEL LIFT OPERATION
The optional wheel lift allows a second vehicle to be towed damage free
on its own suspension by utilizing a wheel grid. The wheel lift cross bar
may also be used as a conventional tow bar for badly damaged or heavier
vehicles. Refer to the AAA or vehicle manufacturer’s towing manual for
the correct towing procedures and attachment points.
1. Turn on the body lights and
any work lights, as necessary.
(Switches are located on the
switch panel in the dash).
4 FT
2. Position the rear of the carrier
about 4 feet from the vehicle you
intend to load. Make sure you
are in line with the vehicle to tow.
Because of the additional boom extension and load point of the towed
vehicle, the wheel lift places more load on the rear axle and unloads the
front axle more than a conventional tow bar. Overloading the wheel lift
may result in unsafe steering and braking conditions and may damage
truck frame. Never use the wheel lift without a vehicle on the deck. Single
vehicle recovery must utilize the deck only.
