• Don’t permit bystanders in the area while
performing recovery work.
• Never wrap the wire rope around frames or
cross members. Use chains and hook the
wire rope to the chains.
• Don’t use damaged wire ropes on your
wrecker. Become familiar with the various
types of wire rope damage and periodically
inspect the entire wire rope for wear and
corrosion. Never use wire rope menders.
Replace with similar rated wire rope and
hooks.
• Be sure all brakes and locks are properly
set on the recovery vehicle.
• Never under any circumstances use the
winch or boom to lift people!
• Lubricate and maintain both the wire rope
and winch on regular intervals. (See
maintenance charts.)
