Step 5. With someone safely guiding you, slowly drive ve-
hicle onto platform FRONT FORWARD. (Any vehicle mounted
on tow dolly must be mounted with front of the vehicle facing
forward.) Drive the car forward until the tires touch the ramps.
Make sure the tire is aligned to ascend onto the ramps.
Step 6. Drive vehicle onto platform
- Front Forward -
until
tires touch the wheel stops at the front of each side of the
platform and the platform tilts to a flat position. Make sure the
car is centered on the platform. Towed vehicle tires must fit in
wheel troughs without overhanging sides. Engage towed
vehicle parking brake. Shift loaded car into "park" and lock
steering wheel with front tires in a straight position. If the car
does not have a locking steering column the steering wheel
must be tied securely with front tires in a straight position.
Rear Wheel Drive: Disconnect towed vehicle driveshaft for
rear wheel drive vehicles with automatic transmission.
For manual transmission: Consult your vehicle owners
manual for towing suitability with the drive shaft connected.
IMPORTANT
: Lock the platform in position by pushing
locking pin toward platform. Push the handle down as far
as possible so locking latch holds it in a locked down
position.
Step 9.
While tightening straps, pull cross strap forward to
ensure even tightening. Tighten straps until each tire starts to
flatten against tire stop. After each strap is tight, insert a safety
pin in each winch. Disengage towed vehicle parking brake.
Straps must be retightened after first 5 miles of travel.
Check straps every 50 miles thereafter to ensure they are
tight and not rubbing or fraying.
(continue with Step 10 on following page)
Step 7. Place one tie-down strap over each tire and secure
hooks to rods located at the rear of each wheel platform. The
short side of the hook must face the rear of the TOW-IT.
Step 8. Be sure tie-down winch is centered with the tire before
tightening straps.
