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.
CAUTION
Make sure axle shafts or driveshaft are installed correctly after towing. Tighten axle shaft and driveshaft
nuts to the correct torque settings. Do not invert shafts.
DANGER
Do not carry passengers while the vehicle is being towed.
X-SERIES RECOVERY USING OPTIONAL REAR TOW EYES
Optional rear tow eyes allow recovery of a vehicle that is no longer on a drivable surface. Chains can be
looped around or hooked to these rear tow eyes.
CAUTION
This recovery method should be used only for a short distance with all vehicle wheels on the ground
After the vehicle has been brought back on a drivable surface, it should be lifted and towed from the front,
with front wheels off the ground.
