WARNING!
Recovery straps should only be used in
emergencies to rescue stranded vehicles. Only
use Recovery straps on vehicles that fit within
the recommended Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
of your recovery strap. Only attach recovery
straps to OE recommended anchor points or
emergency towing anchor points. Never attach
to tow ball or vehicle tie down point, these are
not designed for this purpose. Never attach to
vehicle steering, drive train, or any other
suspension components. NEVER pull a strap
over sharp edges or abrasive surfaces that can
damage the recovery strap. NEVER use a
damaged strap, it has reduced strength. DO NOT
attempt to repair straps. ONLY persons involved
in the recovery should be in either vehicle. No
passengers. Anyone inside the vehicles can be
struck by strap recoil, causing serious injury.
MOVE bystanders at least 40 ft (12.2 m) from
the recovery area when using the recovery strap.
