• Don’t use a recovery vehicle that has not
been properly maintained. Pay special
attention to the mounting bolts, and
lubrication of moving parts.
• Don’t use rear spades on paved surfaces
unless you are willing to accept
responsibility for damage to such surfaces.
• Don’t operate the wrecker’s engine faster than
recommended. Excessive speeds can
damage PTO, hydraulic pumps, and winches.
• Don’t lower the rear hydraulic stabilizers unless
the area under them is clear. Pay particular
attention to keeping this area clear.
• Don’t move the recovery vehicle while rear
hydraulic stabilizers are extended. Damage
is very likely to occur.
• Don’t rely on anti-theft steering locks to secure
the steering wheel. Use a special steering wheel
clamping device designed for this purpose.
