Recovery and shunting
Stringent requirements are stipulated for the person steering the towed vehicle.
The drawbar can turn in relation to the attachment. This can result in the
vehicles colliding. The picture illustrates how the vehicles should be positioned
in relation to each other during towing.
Vehicles with low-entry cab
Recovery is always preferable to towing. Towing should always be carried out
with a drawbar.

It is common for several of the vehicle functions to be disengaged or out of
order during recovery and towing.
IMPORTANT!
Detach the propeller shaft or half shafts if the vehicle is to be towed or
recovered further than 500 metres. If you do not detach the propeller shaft
or half shafts, the gearbox could be damaged. See section Detaching the
propeller shaft and Removal – Half shaft.
WARNING!
Vehicles without functioning brakes must not be towed.

Tow-starting should not be carried out for more than 500 metres.
