Step 10. Thread tie-down strap through the slotted tube on
the tie-down winch. Pull approx. 6" of strap through this slot.
Begin tightening strap making sure the tail becomes enclosed
by the strap coming over the tire. Tighten the straps ensuring
that the strap fed through the slot binds between the shaft and
the strap being wound onto the winch shaft. While tightening
straps, pull cross strap forward to ensure even tightening.
NOTE: Be sure to 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.
Step 7. Drive vehicle onto the 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.
Step 8. 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 Kar Kaddy.
Step 9. Be sure tie-down winch is centered with the tire
before tightening straps.
Step 6. 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.
