Using the Clevis/Towing Provisions

The vehicle is equipped with two clevises on the front
and rear ends of the vehicle.
CAUTION:
The clevises when used, are under a lot of force.
Always pull the vehicle straight out. Never pull on the
clevises at a sideways angle. The clevises could
break off and people could be injured from the chain
or cable snapping back.
When recovering the vehicle, you should determine the
direction of the recovery by the distance required to free the
15366
vehicle and the surrounding terrain.
Secure the towing cable to both front or rear clevises with
a V-device to gain an even pull on both anchor points
and avoid damage to the vehicle.
