RECOVERY TOWING
ACCESSING THE FRONT TOWING
POINT
WARNING: Using recovery hooks
is dangerous and should only be done by
a person familiar with proper vehicle
recovery safety practices. Improper use
of recovery hooks may cause hook failure
or separation from the vehicle and could
result in serious injury or death.

slack from the recovery strap prior to
pulling. Failure to do so can introduce
significantly higher loads which can
cause the recovery hooks to break off, or
the recovery strap to fail which can cause
serious injury or death.

WARNING: Never link two straps
together with a clevis pin. These heavy
metal objects could become projectiles
if the strap breaks and can cause serious
injury or death.
WARNING: Switch the ignition off
before removing the recovery hook.
Failure to do so could result in personal
injury.
WARNING: The recovery hook can
become hot. Let the recovery hook cool
down before removing it. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has frame-mounted front
recovery hooks.
Note: Do not apply a load to the recovery
hooks that is greater than the gross vehicle
weight rating of your vehicle.
Before using recovery hooks:
•
Make sure all attaching points are
secure and capable of withstanding
the applied load.
•
Do not use chains, cables or tow straps
with metal hook ends.
•
Only use recovery straps that have a
minimum breaking strength two to
three times the gross vehicle weight of
the stuck vehicle.
•
Make sure the recovery strap is in good
condition and free of visible cuts, tears
or damage.
•
Use a damper device such as a tarp,
heavy blanket or piece of carpet, and
place it 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.
