When using wheel-lift equipment,
towing over rough surfaces can
I
damage a vehicle. To help avoid
this, install a towing dolly beneath
the wheels that would otherwise be
on the ground during the tow. This
will increase clearance between the
wheel-lift equipment and the
underbody of the towed vehicle.
Attach a separate safety chain to each
side
of the axle inboard of the spring.
