Using the Tow Hooks With a Tow Strap
– Tow straps
are a quick and easy way to recover your vehicle from
minor situations if you have a secondary vehicle
which is not stuck. The tow hooks on your vehicle are
designed to take the abusive force generated during
vehicle recovery. Do not use the bumper or any other
vehicle component as an attachment point. Using tow
straps requires coordination between the two drivers.
Good communication and line of sight are required for
a safe recovery. First connect the tow strap to the
correct attachment points on both vehicles. There
should be a least 20 to 30 feet between the vehicles to
allow for a safe recovery. If necessary join two tow
straps together using a 1
1
⁄
2
inch hard wood dowel.
This will keep the straps from becoming knotted and is
safer than using a clevis pin if the strap breaks. Next
have the tow vehicle backup, leaving two to three feet
worth of slack in the strap. Then the tow vehicle, using
light throttle, should accelerate tightening the strap
providing the pulling force needed to free the vehicle.
The vehicle being recovered should assist in the recov-
ery, at the time of the snap, by slowly spinning the tires
in the same direction as the pulling vehicle. After the
vehicle becomes free, the driver of the previously
stuck vehicle should signal they are free and should
hit their brakes stopping both vehicles. The driver of
the pulling vehicle should let off the throttle without
using the brakes, once signaled by the other driver.
This sequence is important to avoid having the recov-
ered vehicle hit the pulling vehicle.
