7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Raise the casualty vehicle into 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.
10. Be sure to maintain sufficient
ground clearances with the
bottom of the casualty vehicle.
11. Attach the safety chains and
magnetic towing lights.
12. Hook-up and connect air and
braking systems.
