Vehicle Recovery

TOWING POINT

Never tow the vehicle using only the towing points. To avoid damaging the vehicle body, use proper towing equipment when towing.

VEHICLE RECOVERY (FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE)

-

Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the main structural members of the vehicle.

-

Pulling devices should be routed so they do not touch any part of the suspension, steering, brake or cooling systems

-

Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle. Never pull the vehicle at a sideways angle.

-

Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not recommended for use for vehicle towing or recovery.
