Use a damper device such as a tarp,
heavy blanket or piece of carpet
draped over the recovery strap to help
absorb the energy in the event the
strap breaks.
•
Make sure the stuck vehicle is not
loaded heavier than its gross vehicle
weight rating specified on the
certification label.
•
Always align the tow vehicle and stuck
vehicle in a straight line (within 10
degrees).
•
Keep bystanders to the sides of the
vehicle, at a distance of at least twice
the length of the recovery strap. This
helps avoid injury from the hazard of a
recovery hook or strap breaking, or a
vehicle lurching into their path.
