Long-Distance Towing; Tow Starting; Towing Hook - Paccar DAF CF 2017 Emergency Response Manual

EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDE
Towing information
1. Remove the rubber cover.
2. Screw in the towing eye fully so the entire
thread is used.
3. Then turn the towing eye anti-clockwise
(maximum 90 degrees) so the towing bar
1
can be attached to the towing eye.
The maximum GVW the towing eye may pull is 40
tons.
NOTE: To lift the vehicle two towing
eyes must be used and both pins must
be perpendicular to the lifting cable or
chain. Turn the towing eyes anti-
clockwise (maximum 180 degrees) to
achieve this position.

Long-distance towing

If the vehicle must be towed over a longer
distance, use a recovery vehicle that lifts the
vehicle to be towed under its front axle. Do not
run the engine because of the risk of engine
lubrication failure.

Tow starting

If the vehicle must be towed to start the engine,
turn the ignition key clockwise to position D (M) of
the ignition switch (ignition on).
NOTE: Vehicles with an automated
gearbox cannot be towed to start the
engine.

Towing hook

Tractors may be fitted with a small towing hook at
the rear end of the chassis. Use this towing hook
only for light shunting work (maximum 10 tons).
