NOTE:
For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use
both of the front tow hooks to minimize the risk

rated tow strap.
WARNING!
- Do not use a chain for freeing a stuck
vehicle. Chains may break, causing serious
injury or death.
- Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with
tow hooks. Tow straps may become disengaged,
causing serious injury.
CAUTION!

rescue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not
use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or
