flatbed truck, it should be tied
down at the locations shown in the
illustration.
Covers are installed to the tie-down
holes. After transporting the vehi-
cle, make sure to reinstall the cov-
ers to the holes.
If you use chains or cables to tie
down your vehicle, the angles
shaded in black must be 45°.

downs or the vehicle may be dam-
