Bus towing considerations

When you perform the bus towing, also
consider the following indications:
•
The hydraulic steering will not work
during the vehicle towing due to the
engine is not operating, so will be very
difficult to steer the vehicle.
•
A punctured or flat tire must be repaired
before the vehicle towing.
•
The connections for the drag bar are only
to be used in the bus towing. Should not
be used for other purpose.
•
Bus conditioned with a low mounted
coupling for trailer reduces the ground
clearance. Make contact with the ground
can cause damage to the bus!
•
The TCS (traction control System) needs
to be disabled if an axle is lifted during
vehicle towing.
CAUTION
The towing requires that the axle shaft or
both drive wheels main shafts are removed,
otherwise the gearbox may be damaged
due to insufficient lubrication.
