TIE-DOWN STRAPS - HYDRAULIC GRID
The hydraulic grid is supplied with a set of high-strength polyester web tie-
down straps. They are to be used to secure the wheels of the towed vehicle
to the wheel grid. NEVER TOW A VEHICLE WITHOUT THE TIE-DOWN
STRAPS INSTALLED.
The tie-down strap assembly is
comprised of 2 basic components:
1. (2) The Strap/Hook Assemblies
2. (2) The Ratchet Spool
Mechanisms
Follow these steps to properly
install the tie-down straps:
USING THE RATCHET SPOOL MECHANISM
1. First set the spool into “free
spool”. This is done by pulling
the lock bar out and swinging 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 engages 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.
