4MUST READ BEFORE USE
1. Working Load Limit - represents the maximum vehicle weight a Recovery Strap can safely
handle and still accommodate the added stress caused by sudden jerking, tire suction,
friction and angle of pull. For this reason Keeper recommends that the maximum weight of
the disabled vehicle not exceed the limit shown on the strap that you are using.
2. ALWAYS USE EXTREME CAUTION. Stand clear!
If strap breaks or becomes disengaged, it will snap wildly.
3. Not recommended for highway use.
4. Protect strap from sharp edges or heat. Replace if cut, worn, frayed, melted or abraded.
5. Do not use for lifting.
4OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Attach only to vehicle frame or hitch strong
enough for extreme towing stress. DO NOT USE
PORTABLE METAL HARDWARE such as hooks or
chain to attach strap to vehicle.
2. To attach to frame, form a loop around the frame
by passing one end loop through the other
(as shown in the photo to the uper). Or attach to
tractor hitch pin or frame mounted tow hook
strong enough for extreme towing stress.
3. Tie a rag around strap to protect from sharp edges. Be particularly careful of sharp
edge on bottom of bumper.
4. DRIVE SLOWLY away from stuck vehicle until strap stops stretching. The strap will
recoil and free the stuck vehicle. USE EXTREME CAUTION and STAND CLEAR.
5. To reduce potential whipping, lay blanket or coat over the strap after vehicle
attachment. REMEMBER, if the strap is overloaded or improperly fastened,
it could snap loose like a rubber band and cause injury.
6. At stop or when slowing down, keep tension on the strap to avoid abrasion from road.
