The MAXTRAX Rope Dampener has been designed and tested as part of the MAXTRAX Recovery System. The MAXTRAX Recovery System is comprised solely of MAXTRAX products and has not been tested with any third party branded products. Critically, if the MAXTRAX Recovery System is overloaded, the MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle is designed to be the weakest link, and the expected point of failure. Accordingly, YOU MUST USE a MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle in the MAXTRAX Recovery System during any vehicle recovery. Position the MAXTRAX Rope Dampener near the MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle. The MAXTRAX Rope Dampener can be connected to a Rope Loop with a MAXTRAX Fuse Shackle. Only use rated recovery points when using the MAXTRAX Recovery System.
