Towing service

If necessary, we recommend towing
your vehicle by an authorized
EQUUS dealer or a commercial tow-
truck service. Proper lifting and tow-
ing procedures are necessary to pre-
vent damage to your vehicle. The use
of wheel dollies or flatbed is recom-
mended.
It is acceptable to tow the vehicle
with the rear wheels off the ground,
while dragging the front wheels
(without a dolly).
When any of the loaded wheels or
suspension components is dam-
aged, or when the rear wheels have
the possibility of dragging on the
ground, use a towing dolly under the
rear wheels.
When the wheel dolly is not
equipped in a tow truck, must lift the
rear wheels, not the front wheel.

Information
When you tow the vehicle as shown in
the illustration (A), the cable should
be secured to the vehicle towing hook
OVI065012N
as shown in the illustration (1).
When you use chains or cables to lash
down your vehicle, the lashing angle
must be 45°, as shown in the illustra-
tion (2).
Do not over-tighten the lashing strap
or cables. Otherwise, this may damage
your vehicle.
