●
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc.
which place excessive stress on the
towing eyelets, cables or chains.
The towing eyelets, cables or
chains may become damaged, bro-
ken debris may hit people, and
cause serious damage.
Do not turn the power switch off.
●
There is a possibility that the steer-
ing wheel is locked and cannot be
operated.
■
Installing towing eyelets to the
vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are
installed securely.

lets may come loose during towing.

adequate ground clearance for tow-
ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear-
ance, the vehicle could be dam-
aged while being towed.
