Freeing trapped vehicle
WARNING
•
Never allow anyone to stand near the towing
line during the pulling operation.
•
Never spin the tyres at high speed. This could
cause them to explode and result in serious
injury. Parts of the vehicle could also overheat
and be damaged.
•
Do not pull the vehicle using the rear hook.
The rear hook is not designed to pull the ve-
hicle out in the event that the vehicle becomes
trapped.
In the event that your vehicle’s tyres become trapped
in sand, snow, or mud, and the vehicle is unable to
free itself without being pulled, use the recovery
hooks.
•
Use the recovery hooks only. Do not attach the
pulling device to any other part of the vehicle
body. Otherwise, the vehicle body may be dam-
aged.
•
Use the recovery hooks to free a vehicle only.
Never tow a vehicle using only the recovery
hooks.
•
The recovery hooks are under tremendous stress
when used to free a trapped vehicle. Always pull
the pulling device straight out from the vehicle.
Never pull on the recovery hooks at an angle.
Front:
j1
Remove the hook cover from the bumper with
a suitable tool.
j2
Securely install the recovery hook as
illustrated. (The hook is stored with the jacking
tools.)
Make sure that the recovery hook is properly se-
cured in its storage area after use.
