Note also the long strap. Generally it takes a rope over 4 meters or along the car to be towed. It aims to make it easier to turn and braking ketiksa.
2. Weight DrivesNote the tow car weight. Ensure greater strength and body, or at least equal to the cars that will be in tow. This is to ease the process of towing.
3. Place of rope puller
Modern cars are sure to provide the perfect place to tie the rope tow. Towing hook or hooks are generally located at the front or rear bumper. If confused, could be seen through the manual of your car.
Avoid tying tow rope in the suspension or bumper. The second area not hold the weight of the vehicle and the towing rope broke and you could potentially endanger safety
4. Speed and Distance WatchDuring the course of towing, maintain a distance and not try to rope slack. This is to minimize the impact and risk of the rope breaking. Walk slowly when the car is moving. Safe maximum speed is 30 to 40 km / h.
5. RouteBefore leaving, identify and discuss the route to be traveled. Avoid potholes, copy, ramps and intersections. Even if there is no other way, always take the left lane or the slow lane
6. LightingDuring the tow, you can turn on the headlights as a sign of a car being towed or winched. But do not turn on the hazard lights, except when stopped to put up a rope.
As for the turn signal, turn off before entering the corner so that other motorists can anticipate. Do not suddenly harm to other motorists who do not know the condition of your car.
