TOWING THE VEHICLE
Note: If at all possible, this vehicle should be placed on a carrier, rather than towing.
WARNING
ALWAYS use another driver to steer this vehicle while it is being towed.
DO NOT block or otherwise tie the treadle down to release the brake. Blocking the treadle
down may result in uncontrolled movement of the vehicle causing severe bodily injury
and/or property damage.
WARNING
DO NOT tow a vehicle with a tow strap if the vehicle brakes are not working properly.
Using a strap to tow a vehicle with no brakes may result in loss of control of both vehicles
causing severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
DO NOT tow the vehicle faster than 5 mph (8 kph) or its maximum designed speed,
whichever is lower.
Towing the vehicle faster than 5 mph may result in one or more of the following:
• Loss of control of both vehicles causing severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
• Damage to the towed vehicle drive train components and/or motor.
WARNING
Use extreme caution if towing a vehicle backwards and it is recommended ONLY to tow
a short distance until able to connect to the front tow bar and tow forwards.
If towed backwards, the towed vehicle may swing wide turning turns resulting in loss of
control of both vehicles causing severe bodily injury and/or property damage
