The kinetic rope in this kit
It turns the towing vehicle's kinetic energy into stretch, then releases it to pull the stuck vehicle free without the need for a winch. Under max load it stretches up to 40%, which takes the jerk out of the recovery, gives an even pull and puts less stress on the recovery points, chassis and occupants than a static tow strap.

Features

• Even pull during recoveries
• Very useful for flat towing on tight trails
• Stretches up to 40%
• Less stress on vehicle components than static tow straps
• Professionally made in South Africa

WARNING

Kinetic ropes can be very dangerous if used incorrectly, both to people or property. Because of the up to 40% stretch of a kinetic rope, the forces created with momentum can easily overcome the breaking limits of anchoring points, connectors (shackles), or the kinetic rope. The elasticity of the kinetic rope can create a slingshot effect, which can cause serious damage or injury to people. The manufacturer of these kinetic ropes cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury caused.

Basic principles when using a kinetic rope

• The first rule is not to expose you or your vehicle to any harm by getting stuck.
• The recovery vehicle must be of similar weight to the bogged down vehicle.
• Only use anchoring points on the vehicle that are connected directly to the chassis and are rated by the manufacturer.
• Only use correct size rated connectors (shackles or soft shackles).
• Never use a kinetic rope on a winch or as a winch cable extension.
• Never tie knots in a kinetic rope when connecting it to a vehicle.
• Never use a damaged kinetic rope.
• Add 40% of the rope's length in the direction of pull, make a mark on the ground, and never exceed this distance with the recovery vehicle when pulling.
• Beware of bystanders within a radius of 2.5 x the length of the rope.
• Keep the rope clean and free from sand or grit.

Care & maintenance

Wild Dog 4×4® gear is premium quality, but recovery work exposes it to wear and damage such as nicks, cuts, tears, fraying, burns and abrasion. Inspect every component before each use. DO NOT USE any item that is damaged, cut, frayed, burned, melted, abraded or partially unwound, or that does not have a clearly legible warning label. After use, rinse with clean fresh water and air dry out of direct sunlight as soon as possible, then store in the recovery bag.

Safety recommendations

It is recommended that the minimum breaking strength of the strap should be between 4 times the gross vehicle mass (GVM) of any vehicle it is used with. It is advised that the strap must be suited to the gross vehicle mass (GVM) of the lighter of the 2 vehicles used in the recovery process.

Safety instructions

Use only certified recovery products in a recovery.

1. Persons intending to use the strap should consider completing a nationally recognised four-wheel drive training course, or contact a four-wheel drive club for comprehensive advice on the proper selection and use of the strap.
2. The strap must not be used for lifting or conventional towing.
3. The persons intending to use the strap must ensure the strap is not damaged and is in a usable condition.
4. The strap's strength and stretch are reduced when the strap is saturated with water.
5. An object such as a recovery damper, heavy bag or blanket must be draped over the strap during use to reduce any unintentional rebound of the strap.
6. Before attempting the vehicle recovery, passengers of the vehicles involved must: (i) exit the vehicles; (ii) stand as far away from the vehicles as possible; (iii) avoid standing in the path of the vehicle performing the recovery.
