WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
In the interest of safety, the Caster Arms should ALWAYS be extended to the minimum exposure depth line when the Rotisserie
is in use. They should only be retracted when the Rotisserie is out of use and in storage.

ROTISSERIE USE
Most vehicle bodies, especially convertibles, must first be braced to avoid distortion or bending of body in the door openings,
window openings and other areas. This is also critical in rust-damaged bodies to avoid body distortion, damage or collapse.
The number of vehicle variations and mounting possibilities among vehicles is nearly unlimited. The user must determine the strongest and safest method of
supporting the vehicle body and or chassis to the Rotisserie. Some general suggestions are listed below:
• Unitized body vehicles:
- Attach to suspension mounting points
- Attach to bumper mounting points
- Attach to engine or drivetrain mounting points
• Full-frame vehicles with body off frame:
- Attach to body mounts
• Full frame vehicles with body on frame:
- Attach to suspension mounting points
- Attach to bumper mounting points
• Subframe vehicles with subframes removed:
- Attach to suspension mounting points
- Attach to bumper mounting points
- Attach to subframe mounts
• Truck cabs removed from frame:
- Attach to body/cab mounts
• Truck cabs with cab on frame:
- Attach to suspension mounting points
- Attach to bumper mounting points
• Fiberglass body vehicles (Corvette, Avanti etc.):
- Attach body to specially constructed support frame or structure which is attached to Rotisserie
