following information when you call:

EMERGENCY
TowiNG
CAUTION
Do not allow your mo-
tor home to be towed
without having the tow
truck operator read this
section and related sec-
tions of the Chassis
Operator's Manual.
N
Do not tow the motor
home from the rear. Tow-
ing from the rear will
cause serious overload-
ing of the front tires and
suspension, possibly re-
sulting in tire or front sus-
pension failure. The rear
frame extensions are not
designed to withstand
the load imposed by lift-
ing from the rear.
CAUTION
The air brake system and
air suspension system
may require recharging
with air before towing to
release the brakes and
provide proper ride
height. Tow truck opera-
tors should be equipped
to re-charge these air
systems. The air system
recharging connection is
located under the front
hood.
