WELL YOU FINISHED INSTALLING YOU MINUTE MAN, AND NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN USE THE MINUTE MAN IN A SAFE AND SECURE WAY.

FIRST OF ALL YOU MUST KNOW THE DISTANCE FROM THE BACK OF YOUR TRUCK BUMPER TO THE TOW VEHICLE IS ABOUT 71 INCHES...YOU MUST AVOID LOWERING THE RAM AND HEAD WITH L-ARM DOWN ON THE VEHICLE.

YOU MUST ALWAYS START LOWERING YOUR RAM BEFORE YOU GET TO CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE.

ONCE THE RAM AND HEAD WITH L-ARMS ARE ON THE GROUND THEN YOU CAN SLIDE THE UNIT UNDER THE TOW VEHICLE.

ONCE THE T-BAR IS UNDER THE TOW VEHICLE THEN YOU CAN PUSH THE OPEN BUTTON ON YOUR HAND CONTROLLER AND OPEN UP THE L-ARMS AROUND THE DRIVE WHEELS OF THE TOW VEHICLE.

THE NEXT STEP IS TO ATTACH THE TOW STRAPS AND RACHETS. THE RACHET HOOK GOES IN THE HOLE IN THE END OF THE L-ARM AND THE OTHER END OF THE STRAP ATTACHES TO THE T-BAR NEXT TO THE 3/8 GRAB HOOKS INTO THE HALF CIRCLE AND THEN RACHET DOWN THE TIRE UNTIL TIGHT.

THE NEXT STEP IS TO HAVE THE RAM AND HEAD IN A MOVABLE POSITION

THE RAM SHOULD BE EXTENDED ABOUT ONE INCH, THIS ENABLES THE HEAD TO PIVOT 90 DEGREES SIDE TO SIDE. IF THE RAM DOES NOT HAVE SPACE TO PIVOT THIS WILL BEND OR BREAK RAM BOLTS AND RAM BOOT BOLTS.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU STRAP AND SAFETY CHAIN BOTH SIDES AND NOT OVER LOAD YOUR TOW VEHICLE. KNOW YOUR SAFE TOWING CAPACITY. THE SAFE TOWING FORMULA IS ON YOUR REGISTRATION FORM. THE MAX LIFT IS 3500LBS AND THE MAX TOWING FROM THE L-ARM IS 7500LBS.

THE MINUTE MAN HAS ADJUSTABLE L-ARMS FOR THE SMALLER TIRE VEHICLES.

THE L-ARMS ARE EASY TO ADJUST IT TAKE A 1-1/8 SOCKET, TO ADJUST JUST TURN THE BOLT TO THE DESIRED SIZE.

ALWAYS BE SAFE, KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL 1-877-593-6959 or 1-616-662-6475.
