JACKING, HOISTING, AND RECOVERY TOWING
Hoisting
Conventional hydraulic hoist may be used to lift the vehicle only if the hoist adaptor plates make firm
contact with the front lower control arms and the rear axle.
Jacking and Recovery Towing· Method 1
WARNING
No towing operation should be attempted which could jeopardize the safety of the wrecker operator, any
bystanders, or other motorists.
CAUTION
Do NOT tow, lift, or place force from a towing sling or similar device on the front bumper. Tow vehicle
from the rear using a towing dolly under the front wheels.
A towing sling (Holmes TS-100 Universal or equivalent) is recommended when towing from the rear of the
vehicle. In addition, a 4" x 4" lumber spacing material and safety chains around the rear axle assembly are
required to prevent damage to the body, bumper, or other vehicle components.
Jacking and Recovery Towing· Method 2
A wheel lift wrecker attachment is also recommended (Holmes UTC 100, Sentry WL 300, Holmes DST 200,
Sentry WL 600). This type of device lifts the vehicle by the front wheel and suspension and creates no danger
to the front end components.
