Use
5.4.1
Prepare the V-strut
•
Release the ratchet mechanism. Refer to Fig. 6.
•
Extend the tension belt. Refer to Fig. 7. Optionally remove the safety hook from the eye at the
bottom of the V-strut.
•
Extend the V-strut. Refer to Fig. 8.
•
Lock the V-strut.
5.4.2
Place a V-strut against the bottom side of the vehicle
•
Before you place the strut, make sure that the car can not tip over or move as a result of the
placement of the strut and its tension belt.
•
Select a position for the V-strut at which the hook of the tension belt can be attached as low as
possible to the vehicle.
•
Place the base of the V-strut on a strong flat ground surface.
•
If the ground is too soft, put the base support plate under the base. Refer to section 3.5 and Fig. 10.
•
Place the grip head of the V-strut against a vertical surface of the vehicle. Do not place the grip
head under a horizontal surface or edge. Refer to Fig. 12 and fig. 13. When the tension belt will be
tightened the grip head will be pulled firmly down and against the vehicle to provide stabilization.
•
Make sure that the load is distributed evenly over the grip head. Refer to Fig. 11.
•
Put the cover between the V-strut and possible sharp or hot objects. Refer to fig. 14.
•
Make sure that the angle of the V-strut is between 45° and 60°. Refer to fig. 14.
5.4.3
Put the belt under tension
•
Attach the upper hook of the tension belt as low as possible to the vehicle. Refer to fig. 14.
•
Make sure that the safety hook of the tension belt is attached to the eye at the bottom of the V-strut.
WARNING
Make sure you are up to date on all safety regulations and that you have mastered the use of
the equipment you are going to work with.
WARNING
Make sure that both pawls interlock the inner tube. Refer to Fig. 9.
WARNING
Before you start stabilizing the vehicle, pre-stabilize it sufficiently with cribbing material.
Refer to Fig. 4.
NOTE
Rule of thumb: if the height of the grip head is
H
, the distance of the base to the vehicle must
be minimal
0.6*H
and maximal
H
.
For example, if the grip head is at 1275 mm above the ground, the base must be between
750 mm and 1275 mm from the vehicle.
