INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Using Recovery Tracks
1.
When entrapped, stop immediately and turn the vehicle off. Do not continue to spin the
wheels and dig in deeper.
To recover your vehicle, use the end of the
2.
recovery track as a shovel to clear the area
immediately in front of the wheels in the
intended direction of travel.
3.
Create a gently sloping formation in the soft
ground of the direction the vehicle is intended
to travel. Place the tracks hard against the
tyres as shown in the diagram to make it easy
for the tyres to be able to engage the teeth.
4.
Shift into your lowest gear and move slowly
and carefully onto the tracks. Avoid wheelspin
when on the tracks. Slowly accelerate to gain
vehicle momentum before leaving the tracks
and entering onto a more stable road surface.
In the event there is difficulty in gaining grip onto the recovery tracks, reverse the vehicle
onto the already compressed ground, then move forward with sufficient momentum to mount
the recovery tracks.
Another option is to place materials available (branches, gravel, etc.) onto the already
compressed ground, reverse onto the added materials, then place the recovery tracks
immediately in front of the newly created surface area, followed by driving onto the recovery
tracks as described above.
