We recommend using at least 2 collars in location A or B shown. (Figure 2) You can use four in both locations
for extra strength and stability. Be sure to position the collars in accordance with the cargo’s position. Use collars
in location A if cargo is positioned forward, use collars in location B if cargo is positioned near the rear.
