Safety Features and Equipment
Install chains around tow bar and front axle.
CAUTION
Make sure a safe distance is kept between the
front of the vehicle and the tow truck. This
space ensures that vehicle does not suffer
damages when being towed.
Connect an auxiliary air supply to the
emergency air fill valve connector so the
emergency/ parking brakes don't apply while
towing.
Towing with a front flat tire
In case of a flat tire, drive vehicle over a
wooden block to be able to slide the tow bar
underneath.
Repeat previous steps for attaching tow bar
to tow eyes or front axle using axle forks and
chains.
MOVING A VEHICLE FROM THE REAR
The vehicle should not be towed from the rear
unless an emergency situation occurs. If the
vehicle has to be moved over a short distance
as in a parking lot:
Chock front vehicle wheels.
