1. Quick Start Guide

Get Started in Just a Few Steps:

1. Unbox Your Product: Ensure all items listed in the “What’s Included” section are present.
2. Using Your Kinetic Rope:
   • Step 1: Connect the kinetic rope to the soft shackles (knot facing up) of both vehicles securely.
   • Step 2: Slowly accelerate the recovery vehicle in the desired direction. The kinetic rope will stretch and apply force to the stuck vehicle as it becomes taut.
   • Step 3: Once the vehicle is freed, disconnect the rope and store it properly.

5. Common Customer Questions

Q1: What’s the difference between a tow strap and a kinetic rope?

    A: Kinetic ropes stretch during recovery to create a smooth and powerful pulling force. Tow straps, in contrast, do not stretch and are better for towing vehicles rather than recovering them from stuck positions.

Q2: When should I use a kinetic rope?

    A: Use a kinetic rope for off-road recoveries in sand, snow, or mud where a vehicle is stuck and requires additional force to be freed.

Q3: How much does the kinetic rope stretch?

    A: Kinetic ropes can stretch up to 30% of their length, providing a smoother and more effective recovery.

Q4: How do I clean and maintain my kinetic rope?

    A: Rinse with clean water to remove dirt and debris, gently scrub with a soft brush if needed, and air dry completely before storage. Store it in the provided carry bag to prevent damage.
