Section 1 - General Safety Practices
5376000277 1-11
• Do not use machine as a ground when performing any welding operations.
• Never tie-down the front of the recovery vehicle. This procedure may place
excessive load on the chassis frame or other structural components leading to
damage and costly repairs.
• Don’t travel with the PTO engaged. Damage to the recovery vehicles transmission
and hydraulic components will occur. Engage the PTO only when operating the
hydraulic controls. Some PTO/Transission combinations allow for the PTO to be
operated during travel. Consult your specific PTO Operators Manual.
• When using spades on pavement or concrete, it is suggested that you use
larger rubber or wood pads under the spades to help distribute the heavy loads.
Damage to the pavement or concrete may result.
• When using the tow sling be sure the chains and hooks are attached to frame
members and not sheet metal.
• When using the tow sling never attach the chain hooks in such a way as to
damage brake lines or other functional parts.
• When using the tow sling never make a front lift without unlatching the hood of
the vehicle.
• Hook up tow sling and make the lift in strict accordance with AAA’s instructions.
