10. Install the choke chains. Tie the two choke
chains together to secure the side members
to the tow bar (Figure 64 and Figure 65).
Take up any slack that may remain and
maintain proper tension on chains.
11. Shorten the stinger arm to the safest
minimum distance between the vehicle and
the tow truck to allow the towed vehicle to be
as close as possible to the truck yet allowing
enough room for the vehicle to avoid collision
with the tow truck during turns.
Stinger to the rear bumper: Between 59"
and 63"
12. Attach the two tow truck safety chains from
the vehicle engine cradle cross-member to
the truck's tow eyes (Figure 66).
13. Raise the stinger arm and remove the
support jack stand.
14. Lower the vehicle. The drive axle tires should
be 5" to 6" above the ground before the short
distance tow can proceed.
