TIE-DOWN STRAPS
Your carrier is supplied with a set of high strength polyester web tie-down
straps. They are to be used to secure wheels of the towed vehicle to the
wheel lift grid. NEVER TOW A VEHICLE WITHOUT THE TIE-DOWN
STRAPS INSTALLED.
The tie-down strap assembly is
comprised of two (2) basic compo-
nents:
1. The strap
2. The ratchet spool mechanism
The following steps should be
followed to properly install the tie-
down straps:
USING THE RATCHET SPOOL MECHANISM
1. First the spool must be set into
“free spool”. This is done by pull-
ing the lock bar out and swing-
ing the handle upward until it
rests in the free spool notch and
then simply pulling out the
amount of strap required to fit
over the tire.
2. Now pull on the lock bar and
move it downward until it en-
gages the ratchet teeth on the
take up spool. By pushing and
pulling the handle up and down,
the strap will be wound onto the
spool.
3. To release the ratchet, simply
pull on the locking bar, disengag-
ing the teeth and raise the
handle to the “free spool” posi-
tion.
