Towing (Continue) - Volvo 9700 US/CAN 2016 Driver's Handbook Manual

Towing (continue)

During the preparations for the bus towing,
pay attention and take care at all the time the
mechanically parking brake release of the
bus, because after that the bus may be not be
stopped (with the service brake or parking
brake). First block the drive wheels, or
connect a drag bar in another vehicle, so that
the bus will not be able to start moving after
you have released the parking brake. After
mechanically releasing the parking brake, the
bus cannot be braked either with the main
brake or with the parking brake. Block the
wheels or connect to the tow vehicle, so that
the bus cannot start moving after the parking
brake has been released.
Note: TCS should be turned off if one of
the axles is raised during towing and for,
punctures, the tire must be repaired before
towing begins.
CAUTION
Failure to disconnect the drive shaft,
remove the drive axle shaft(s) or lift
the drive wheels off the ground before
towing or pushing the vehicle, can cause
serious transmission damage and void the
transmission warranty.
If something happens 149
