Recovery and shunting
• Recovery from the front, vehicle with leaf spring suspension
During recovery from a ditch, the spring attachment on the front axle beam is a
suitable towing point.
• Recovery from the front, vehicle with air suspension
During recovery from a ditch, the front axle by the air bellows attachment is a
suitable towing point.
• Recovery from the rear and from the side
Attach the recovery equipment to the body frame when the vehicle is pulled
backwards or sideways.
Alternative procedure for recovery of vehicles on a level surface
Scania recommends using the recovery tool. The recovery tool is designed for
lifting the vehicle. The recovery tools should be fixed with 3 screws on both
sides of the vehicle. Tighten the screws to 530 Nm.
