Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select appropriate axle strap length (22" or 36") based on the vehicle's axle and clearance.
- Wrap the axle strap around the vehicle's axle, ensuring the straps are positioned to avoid brake lines or other sensitive components.
- Attach the heavy-duty D-ring of the axle strap to the desired end fitting of the ratchet strap.
- Connect the snap hook of the ratchet strap to a secure anchor point on the trailer or transport vehicle.
- Use the ratchet mechanism to tighten the strap until secure, maintaining consistent tension across all tie-down points.
Compatibility:
This kit is designed for securing vehicles via their axles. It is compatible with most standard axles on cars, trucks, and light commercial vehicles. Ensure your trailer or transport vehicle has suitable, load-rated anchor points for the snap hooks.
Care:
- Inspect straps regularly for wear, cuts, or abrasion before each use.
- Clean straps with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
- Store straps in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Ensure hardware is clean and free of debris to maintain proper function.
