Product Manual

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.
It’s unlikely that the ‘BOG OUT’ could be broken by the vehicle if used correctly because the
device is designed to be stronger than the weakest part of the drive train ie the vehicles clutch.
BUT if the ‘BOG OUT’ is damaged, typically by sharp rocks, tree roots or misuse etc, it should be
discarded and replaced.
It must be understood that the device would likely be used in hostile circumstances, therefore
care and common sense MUST be employed. Whilst we have used the same device in many
recoveries, it only takes one cut to render the ‘BOG OUT’ device unserviceable.
Removing the ‘BOGOUT’ from a wheel and storage
To remove the device, simply reverse the direction until it’s unwound off the tyre, then undo the
red connector/s.
Another way is to ‘rock’ the vehicle forward and reverse taking a wrap off sideways each time.
Store in the carry bag provided and wash in clean fresh and warm water if necessary when
convenient. Dry in the shade and repack for further use.
The red connector tie is sacrificial and should be replaced when damaged. These are available
on our website www.bogout.com or enquire in store where ‘BOGOUT’ is sold.
Anchoring Systems
Finding a suitable anchor to secure the ‘BOGOUT’ might be as simple as attaching it to a
conveniently placed tree, or another vehicle. Always use a tree protector strap, especially as
trees near boggy sites are valuable not only to you but others as well for future recoveries.
There are many other methods that can be utilised and there are various anchors available on
the market, some designed for boats and some for 4wd’s. Also there are many other solutions
demonstrated on the internet.
‘BOGOUT’ has designed one specifically that may be better suited to the job and is available via
the website www.bogout.com or enquire in store where ‘BOGOUT’ is sold.
Learning to use ‘BOG OUT’ is not difficult but easiest in a clean, not-bogged situation. Learn the
simple knots and methods before you get into a situation and when the time comes to get a
vehicle out of a real bog, it will be all the more easy and safe.
If you’re really stuck and have lost traction to both wheels (front or back), you might need two
‘BOG OUT’ devices. This offers a potential traction capability of a massive eight tonnes, or four
times the capacity of most clutches.
USE AS A TOW ROPE
The ‘BOG OUT’ can also be used as a tow rope. Simply roll the main straps together to tidy the
rungs and use like any other tow rope. The ‘BOG OUT’ 4x4 model is made from two main straps
each with a break strength of about two tonnes, so the device can pull up to about four tonnes of
load.
Never use tow bar tow balls as points of attachment and always use a dampener in case of
equipment failure and recoil.
