Tie Downs

Tie downs are used when transporting vehicles and when using the chassis dynamo. Attach tie-downs only to the specified locations on the vehicle.

Measure the distance between the highest tire point and highest arch point before and after tie-down. Make sure to fix the vehicle securely within 50 mm (1.97 in) difference of measured value (sinking amount).
