If you are using a winch to pull out another vehicle,
follow the winch manufactures guidelines and observe
the following to prevent damage to your vehicle:
If possible, have your vehicle anchored from
the opposite side of the winch to a solid,
immovable object.
If winching from the front, use both of the rear
recovery loops. If winching from the rear, use both
of the front recovery loops.
Put your transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
Use your regular brakes to hold your vehicle in
place and block the wheels to keep the vehicle
from moving.
NOTICE:
Using a power winch with the transmission in
gear to pull out another vehicle may damage the
transmission. When operating a power winch,
always leave the transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
If you are using a winch to pull out your own vehicle,
follow the winch manufactures guidelines for self
recovery and observe the following to prevent damage
to your vehicle:
Do not self recover your vehicle by wrapping the
winch cable around an object (such as a pulley block
or tree) and attaching it back to your vehicle’s
recovery loops.
Always attach the winch cable directly to a solid
anchor directly in front of your vehicle to achieve a
straight line pull.
