•
The strap must be suited to the GVM of the lighter of the 2 vehicles used in the
recovery process.
•
Before attempting the vehicle recovery, passengers of the vehicles involved must:
- exit the vehicles
- stand as far away from the vehicles as possible
- avoid standing in the path of the vehicle performing the recovery
KEY INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Inspect Tree Trunk Protector before every use.
•
If the Tree Trunk Protector is damaged in any way do not use. Keep strap away from
sharp edges especially when under load.
•
Exposing the strap to high temperatures may cause damage and is to be avoided.
Ensure proper rated recovery points are used.
•
When using shackles with a tree trunk protector always use approved rated shackles.
•
Never exceed the Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of a strap, or the Working Load
Limit (WLL) or Safe Working Load (SWL) of shackles.
USAGE
Getting Set Up
•
Assess the area. Wrap the tree trunk protector around a large sized healthy tree trunk
and bring together the two eyelets. Avoid using undersized or dead tree trunks.
•
Ensure the strap is not twisted, knotted or kinked.
•
Attach a suitably rated bow shackle through both eyelets and connect a winch clevis
hook or winch extension strap to the shackle and secure.
NB – When using a BOW shackle.
•
To avoid seizing the screw pin of the bow
shackle, it is a good practice to back off about
1/2 a turn after fully hand tightening the
shackle pin. Shackle pins may seize due to
force exerted during recovery operation.
•
If using a shackle to connect to the vehicle
ensure it is a RATED SHACKLE and is adequate
for the recovery being conducted.
