3). Secure anchor point

It is very important that an anchor point is strong enough to
hold the load while winching. Do not wrap the rope around
the load and back onto itself. Always use a strap to ensure
that the wire/synthetic rope does not fray or kink.

The recovery vehicle engine should be running to provide
maximum power to the winch. The transmission shall be
set in neutral, hand brake applied ad wheel chocked or
