Next, secure your recovery chains to the anchor points on the vehicle that needs to be recovered. Make sure that the tension in each of the chains is evened out before tightening them up with either the shackle or soft shackle that you have chosen for each end.

Once everything has been securely connected, take some time to check over all of your connections - this is an extremely important step as improper connection could lead to further accidents down the line. Then it’s just a matter of connecting up the tow rope and beginning your winching operation if necessary. Be sure not to exceed any recommended tension limits while doing this.

Finally, remember that when performing any type of vehicle recovery, there are always risks associated with such an endeavor. It is best practice to ensure that you have given adequate attention to safety precautions before beginning any kind of recovery operation - such as proper protective wear and equipment checks - so as not to put yourself at risk during the process.
