Product Manual

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. 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. The ‘BOG
OUT’ is made from exceptionally strong materials and is more that capable of pulling a vehicle
over if used unwisely. Only ever attempt to recover a vehicle if it is in a level situation and able to
be recovered in a straight and level line. Call for expert assistance if in any doubt.
Once all is attached, the recovery can proceed. When all persons are clear, start the motor and
select the gear required. Use low range and first or reverse gear. SLOWLY take up the tension
by judicious use of the clutch and accelerator.
When the vehicle moves, stop and check everything is safe and secure and that the ‘BOG OUT’
is forming correctly and evenly as a harness for the tyre. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should
anyone get under the vehicle or near the recovery gear whilst it is under tension, or in any
position where they may be harmed.
Remember, vehicles in slippery situations may slide or move unexpectedly. KEEP SAFE!
‘BOG OUT’ is designed to allow a vehicle to ‘creep’ or ‘inch’ its way out of a bog. It has little
stretch and is NOT designed to accept shock load like a snatch strap. It is an extremely strong
device, and will likely damage the vehicle or itself if used in any way other than slowly and
carefully.
Once the vehicle is successfully removed from the bog, the ‘BOG OUT’ can be easily removed
by reversing direction or by ‘rocking’ the vehicle slightly forward and back, pulling the device off
the wheel sideways if it is safe to do so. A carry bag is supplied to store the device until it can be
cleaned and dried and repacked for future use.
Method of Use 2 in more detail
IMPORTANT make sure the vehicle is turned off and can’t be started or moved whilst engaging the ‘BOGOUT’
If your vehicle has brake or steering parts in the way, then no problem, there is another way to
utilise your ‘BOG OUT’.
Lay out the ‘BOG OUT’ in line with the tyre that has lost traction in the direction the recovery is to
proceed (rear tyre for reverse and front tyre for forward motion). Lift the long tails over the tyre
and around it and pull the long tails with the spliced eyes down to the ground until the first ‘rung’
is on the ground.
The long tails then need to pass along the ground and back to the main straps of the ‘BOG
OUT’. Some mud, sand or dirt may have to be scooped out of the way first. The eyes can then
be tied to the main straps thereby ‘capturing’ the tyre in the harness. The spliced eyes should be
connected using the red connector ties (supplied) so the harness can ‘noose’ and grip the tyre as
in the following diagrams. Note position of rung.
