Precautions for the use of towing rope

1. Choose towing tools with eye-catching colors, such as yellow, blue, fluorescent green, fluorescent red, etc. If the color is not eye-catching, you can hang colored cloth strips on the trailer tool. Try to use tow ropes with reflective materials when towing at night to increase the warning effect. The towed vehicle must turn on the fault light. If the light cannot be turned on due to lack of electricity, there must be a striking sign, such as a “troubled car” on the rear of the vehicle, to remind the vehicles behind to avoid. When driving, both front and rear vehicles should turn on the double flashing warning lights and drive along the outermost lane. You can also paste a "trailer" sign behind the towed vehicle to indicate that other vehicles are driving carefully.

2. The trailer tool should be installed at the same side of the trailer hook position of the front and rear vehicles. If the faulty vehicle is the left hook, then the tractor should also choose the left hook to ensure that it drives straight after being on the road. And when installing the trailer hook, it is necessary to check afterwards to ensure that the tow hook is installed tightly, so as to prevent the tow hook from popping out and hurting people during use.

3. Pay attention to the communication and cooperation between the front and rear cars. There are many knowledge about trailers, among which the cooperation between the front and rear drivers is very important. Drivers in front of the trailer should establish a reasonable driving route to avoid complex road conditions and congested roads. If there is no walkie-talkie as a communication tool, you need to agree on the communication signals for starting, decelerating, turning, up and downhill and other operations before going on the road, so that the front and rear car controls are consistent.

4. Control the safe distance between vehicles. In order to prevent rear-end collision when using tow rope tow, it is necessary to master the distance and speed of the vehicle. Generally, the length of the tow rope is about 5 to 10 meters, so the distance between vehicles should be controlled within the effective range of the tow rope to keep the tow rope in a tensioned state. Experts remind that the speed of the tow truck must be controlled below 20 km/h.

5. Old drivers are suitable for driving faulty cars. An experienced driver should control the car behind, while a less experienced driver should drive the tractor in front. When driving, the tractor must control the speed of the vehicle well, keep it stable, and don't go slow or fast. Do not drive at high speed even if the road in front of you is flat and straight. When parking, you should choose a wide area, honk your horn or notify the following car with a hand signal, then slow down and move to the side to continue driving. When it is judged that the following car has reached the side of the road, stop slowly.

6. Slope and curved roads flexibly respond to potential hazards. The hazard coefficient of the trailer on the downhill section is obviously increased, and different methods should be adopted according to different road conditions. If the ramp is very long, you can untie the rope and let the two cars slide down separately; if the ramp is not long, hang the rope downhill, don’t step on the brakes easily for the car in front, and step on the brakes lightly to keep the rope tight. . When encountering a curve, the two cars should turn on the lights in advance as much as possible. It is advisable to take a large circle, and avoid sudden braking. When passing a narrow bend, you should drive along the outside of the road to prevent vehicles behind from driving out of the road.

7. When the Double Braided Towing Rope is towing the car behind, pay attention to whether the road is smooth, otherwise the tow rope will be broken due to huge tensile impact.
