NOTE
• VEHICLE SINKING VOLUME AT TIE-DOWN CONDITION
CAUTION:
The vehicle sinking volume at tie-down condition should be less than 50 mm (1.97 in) and make sure
to fix the vehicle securely.
Check to see if the tensions of chains or belts at tie-down condition are appropriate in the following
procedures.
1) Measure the distance (A) between the center of wheel and highest arch point.
2) Compare the measured dimensions of before and after tie-down.
3) If the difference is less than 50 mm (1.97 in), it is judged as OK. If the difference is 50 mm (1.97 in) or more,
it is judged as NG because the tension is too high.
