2. To prevent the sideward shaking of the front wheel, attach the puller on the towing hook and the tie down hook at front side and connect its both ends to the anchor plate.
3. To prevent the jumping out of the vehicle, attach the chain and the wire whose both ends are tightly fixed to the rear towing hook.
   CAUTION: Do not increase/decrease speed rapidly while testing.
