steering wheel be secured by a
steering wheel strap for any front
or rear tow.
8. With the vehicle in neutral and
the parking brake released, you
can move the vehicle safely up,
down, in or out. All of these
movements are hydraulically
controlled.
9. Power retract the under lift until
the casualty vehicle is about
three (3) to four (4) feet from the
back of the recovery vehicle.
Leave enough room to maneuver
around corners without corner
binding or causing contact
between the two (2) vehicles.
Be
sure that the fly boom is
extended at least four (4) in.
from the middle boom section
to ensure unobstructed cross-
bar pivoting.
10. Raise the casualty vehicle into the final towing position observing the far
end for sufficient ground clearance. It is possible to set the rear of a front
lifted vehicle completely onto the ground, causing damage. Take irregular
road surfaces into consideration. Observe the lift function from the side
and away from both vehicles if possible.
NOTE:
When towing, the Underlift Boom should be as close to horizontal
as possible. You will have better turning and manuevering
capabilities and it will prolong the life of your under lift and pivot
pin.
