TIP
A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to
stretch.
WARNING
Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive energy that
can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in SEVERE INJURY
or DEATH. See the Shock Loading section on page 100.
• Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch
cable and may result in winch cable failure.
