the incline of the tow truck is too steep or if
the ground clearance under the vehicle is
insufficient, attempting to pull it up may result
in damage. In this case, the vehicle should
only be lifted with the tow truck's lifting equip-
ment.
The towing eyelet is only intended for tow-
ing on roads – not for pulling vehicles from
ditches or any similar purpose involving
severe strain. Call a tow truck for profes-
sional assistance.
