angled arm of the
receiver
.
2. Disconnect the
strap hook
at the end of the
ratchet strap
from the
hook bolt
.
3. Place a cylinder on the
platform
. Move the cylinder toward the
mast
until it rests against the
cylinder
bracket
.
4. If necessary, extend the strap so that it is long enough to wrap around the outside of the cylinder. To extend
the strap:
a. Pull the ratchet release toward the handle.
b. While holding up the release, pivot the handle approximately 180 degrees so that the ratchet
handle is in line with the ratchet base.
c. Pull on the strap to unwind it from the spindle. When enough strap has been unwound, let go of the
release lever.
5. Wrap the strap around the cylinder and connect the
strap hook
to the
hook bolt

6. Pivot the handle back and forth to tighten the strap against the cylinder.
7. Raise the cylinder just a few inches off of the ground by turning the winch handle. Transport the cylinder to the
desired location.

the procedure in step 4.
