WARNING: Never link two strapstogether with a clevis pin. These heavymetal objects could become projectiles ifthe strap breaks and can cause seriousinjury or death.
Your vehicle comes equipped withframe-mounted front recovery hooks. Thesehooks should never have a load applied tothem greater than the gross vehicle weightrating of your vehicle.
Before using recovery hooks:
•Make sure all attaching points are secureand capable of withstanding the appliedload.
•Never use chains, cables or tow strapswith metal hook ends.
•Only use recovery straps that have aminimum breaking strength two to threetimes the gross vehicle weight of thestuck vehicle.
•Make sure the recovery strap is in goodcondition and free of visible cuts, tearsor damage.
•Use a damper device such as a tarp,heavy blanket or piece of carpet drapedover the recovery strap to help absorbthe energy in the event the strap breaks.
•Make sure the stuck vehicle is not loadedheavier than its gross vehicle weightrating specified on the certification label.
•Always align the tow vehicle and stuckvehicle in a straight line (within 10degrees).
•Keep bystanders to the sides of thevehicle, at a distance of at least twice thelength of the recovery strap. This helpsavoid injury from the hazard of a recoveryhook or strap breaking, or a vehiclelurching into their path.
