Installation Guidelines Due to variances in manufacturers' wrecker bodies, truck bodies and mounting surfaces, ITD cannot provide explicit mounting requirements for every mounting option. These instructions are to serve only as a guideline. Final installation requirements are left to the discretion of a qualified installer. Assumption of Risk Towing and recovery (collectively "Towing") is by nature an inherently dangerous activity. As a consequence, towing operators assume the risk of serious injury or death. ITD products are only intended to be used solely by towing operators who have the requisite training and experience who not only understand the proper use of the product/s but also fully understand all risks associated with towing. If you do not have the requisite experience and training as a towing operator DO NOT USE these products.
