Open and position the mat

Open mat with the absorbent face visible and four corner bungees

Unfold the mat and check the binding, backing, four cords and hooks for damage. Place the absorbent face toward the leak before putting tension on the cords. Keep the useful receiving area beneath the expected drip path.

Attach the four corners

Connect each free-end hook to a suitable stable point. Keep the cords clear of tires, hot exhaust, sharp edges, moving components and recovery equipment. If a safe route is unavailable, change the position or select another control.

Check the fit after movement

Confirm that the mat stays beneath the source without dragging or interfering with the vehicle. Loading, turning and unloading can shift the drip path. Recheck the mat, attachment and available capacity, and tell the receiving person when the next inspection is due.
