Recovery Attachment PointsRecovery attachment points are to be available on the vehicle as describedherein:4.1 Area of PlacementAn area suitably located and identified by the vehicle manufacturer to support equipmentnecessary for recovery of a disabled vehicle.4.2 Location
10、of Attachment PointsThe front recovery attachment point(s) should be located forward of thecenterline of the front wheels. The rear recovery attachment point(s) should be located aft of the centerline ofthe rear wheels. Although four attachment points are preferable, one front and one rear is accept
11、able. If oneattachment point is used front and rear, it is recommended that both should not be placed on the same side ofthe vehicle.4.2.1 Recovery attachment points may be a reinforced slot or opening with load capacities as specified in 4.4 or aconnection point that will accept a standard reasonab
