Quick User Guide Refer to full Instruction before use Method ‘one’ can be used on the wheels of all vehicles that have adequate clearance between the wheel and the brake, steering and any other mechanical parts of the vehicle. If there is any doubt, use method ‘two’ or consult a mechanic.
Method of Use 1 in more detail IMPORTANT make sure the vehicle is turned off and can’t be started or moved whilst engaging the ‘BOGOUT’ Simply lay out a ‘BOG OUT’ in line with the tyre that has lost traction (rear tyre for reverse and front tyre for forward recovery) and attach the short tails end to the wheel by passing the red connector tie (supplied) through the rim and attaching to the spliced eyes of the ‘BOG OUT’.
Other anchors are available including typical ‘digging’ anchors or by digging a hole for a suitably strong and large item such as a spare wheel or log. Any recovery equipment used in conjunction with the ‘BOG OUT’ should be of adequate rating and condition. It’s best to keep the ‘BOG OUT’ on the ground if possible and attach a dampener in case of breakage and recoil. The ‘BOG OUT’ device should be in line with the track of the wheel it’s attached to and in the direction the recovery will proceed.

attached to and in the direction the recovery will proceed. Tie the ‘BOG OUT’ firmly to the anchor system preferably using the same ‘sheet bend’ knot. Avoid shackles. Guy ropes may be necessary to keep the recovery and device in line. Safety should be the prime concern and all persons should be kept well away from potential harm. Another factor to consider is the potential to destabilise a vehicle during recovery.
If not, the vehicle may be snagged or otherwise restrained and you’ll have to clear that before reattempting the procedure. Guy ropes might be considered to assist keeping the ‘BOG OUT’ in line with the tyre if the vehicle moves off line, or retie/relocate the anchor. Again keep people well away from the recovery area.
Different countries and states etc have different regulations regarding the use of tow ropes and you should comply with those regulations. Also tow ropes wear from being in contact with the road and would weaken/damage your ‘BOG OUT’ so this must be considered. USE AS A LIFTING/RESTRAINING DEVICE ‘BOG OUT’ is not designed for lifting and has not been tested or rated for such. Under no circumstances should the ‘BOG OUT’ be used in this manner.
