lets, cables or chains may become damaged, broken debris may hit peo-
ple, and cause serious damage.

Do not turn the power switch off.
There is a possibility that the steering wheel is locked and cannot be oper-
ated.

Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.
