2022 Continental Cargo Elite Series CARGO TRAILERS Unloading
Unloading
Park the combination on level ground in a straight line with the tow vehicle in park or low gear (manual transmission), the motor off, and the parking brake set.
Apply the vehicle-in-tow parking brake.
Connect the drive shaft if previously disconnected.
Remove the security chains from the vehicle-in-tow (if so equipped). CAUTION:Keep children and bystanders clear of the unloading area (at least 10 feet from any part of the tow dolly).
Release the ratchet and remove the tie-down strap from the left tire.
To release ratchet tightness, pull down the lever on the ratchet handle (Figure A) and open the ratchet fully until tightness is released.
Remove the tie-down strap.
Repeat steps 6 through 8 for the right-side tire.
Remove the tilt lock pin from the tilt cuff and place it in an area away from any moving part of the tilt mechanism.
Ensure that the vehicle-in-tow’s front tires are pointing straight ahead. Release the parking brake and slowly back the vehicle-in-tow off the tow dolly. NOTE:If boards were used to keep low spoilers from dragging while loading, place them under ramps before backing off tow dolly.
Manually lower the tilt cuff and reinstall the tilt locking pin.
Crisscross the security chains and hook them back into themselves. This will prevent the chains from bouncing around when towing the unloaded tow dolly (if so equipped).
