Recovering a vehicle that has become stuck
Pull away smoothly, slowly, and in a
straight line when pulling out a vehicle that
has become stuck. Excessive tractive
power could damage the vehicles.
If the drive wheels have become stuck in loose or muddy ground, pull the vehicle out with extreme caution, particularly if it is laden.
Never attempt to recover a stuck vehicle with a trailer attached.
Pull out the vehicle backwards, if possible using the tracks it made when it became stuck.
