used as a lifting sling. DO NOT use the rope for any purpose other than towing a vehicle up to its maximum rated capacity. On

extreme gradients, the capacity can be exceeded by a vehicle weighing less than the indicated capacity, particularly if the “pull”

from the towed vehicle is sudden and not gradual. Remember that the weight of the towed vehicle should be calculated to

include any load in the vehicle.

 Examine the tow rope before and after each use to ensure there is no wear or damage, from the rope dragging on the road

surface or snagging on sharp edges. DO NOT use the rope if it is worn or damaged.
