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 and stable situation
and able to be recovered in a straight clear line. Call for expert assistance if in any doubt.
Once all is attached, the recovery can proceed. When all persons are sufficiently 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.
General
The ‘BOGOUT’ standard model is designed to fit all common 4wd tyre sizes, small tractor and
most cars. Tread patterns from 165mm (6 ½”) to 315mm (12 ½”), and wheel diameters of 13” and
larger are accommodated.
For smaller or larger tyres and wheels (including small car or larger tractor) see ‘BOGOUT’
website where online ordering is available for various other standard or customised solutions.
We can make these to almost any specification ie length, width, strength, material or even colour.
The ‘BOG OUT’ must be kept in line with the line of the tyre it’s attached to. If the bog area is
small this is not so important, but if the ‘BOG OUT’ is to be engaged for more distance, it must fit
neatly over the tyre, and therefore it would need to be kept straight.
More than one ‘BOG OUT’ device can be employed end on end to help vehicles move longer
distances, but care MUST be taken so that the device doesn’t foul on any mechanical parts of the
vehicle as the ‘BOG OUT’ becomes progressively wound onto the tyre.
It is also possible to ‘double up’ a ‘BOG OUT’ if extra strength is thought to be needed.
Caution always must be taken and you will need to stop the recovery if there is a possibility of
‘BOG OUT’ disturbing brake or steering parts especially hydraulic brake lines.
IF IN DOUBT, DON’T USE THE DEVICE.
If the ‘BOGOUT’ is correctly used, the vehicle should drive out of the bog with ease.
