"ZOD" (ZERO DEGREE) WHEEL LIFT OPERATION
The optional wheel lift allows a second vehicle to be towed damage free on
its own suspension by utilizing a wheel grid. The wheel lift cross bar may
also be used as a conventional tow bar for badly damaged or heavier vehicles.
Refer to the AAA or vehicle manufacturer's towing manual for the
correct towing procedures and attachment points.
WARNING:
Because of the additional boom extension and load point of the
towed vehicle, the wheel lift places more load on the rear axle and
unloads the front axle more than a conventional tow bar.
Overloading the wheel lift may result in unsafe steering and braking
conditions and may damage truck frame. Never use the wheel lift
without a vehicle on the deck. Single vehicle recovery must utilize
the deck only.
