Section I - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont’d)
SAFETY TIPS
Don’t expect your wrecker to tow
loads equal to the wrecker rating.
Wrecker ratings apply to loads
imposed during recovery with the
wrecker properly stabilized.
Don’t pull a load with your winch
without making absolutely sure
that the winch drum clutch is
FULLY engaged.
Don’t attempt to recover heavy
loads without first estimating the
amount of pull that will be
required. Rig to keep the
estimated amount of pull well
within equipment ratings.
Don’t exceed ratings of booms,
cables, snatch blocks, or winches.
Stay within nameplate ratings.
Note that boom ratings decrease
significantly as boom is extended.
Section V - MAINTENANCE (cont’d)
5.3 LUBRICATION & PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE (cont’d)
(b) Check hydraulic oil level in reservoir and fill to proper level.
Refer to 5.4, SUMMARY OF REQUIRED LUBRICANTS for

(c) Replace hydraulic oil filters after first week of operation, then
every three (3) months thereafter.
(d) Inspect all bolts for tightness and re-tighten as necessary.
Vibration and stress may loosen even properly torqued bolts.
