If you have questions not answered in this manual, or require additional copies, please contact your dealer or Dethmers Mfg. Co., P.O. Box 189, 4010 320th Street, Boyden, IA 51234 ph: (712) 725-2311 Toll Free: 1-800-543-3626 Fax: (712) 725-2380 http://www.demco-products.com SAFETY... - Page 4 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS, DO NOT TOW. CONSULT YOUR DEALER OR CALL DEMCO. • Use a 2", 5000 lb. (or greater) capacity ball for a tow dolly without surge brakes and a 2", 6000 lb.
- Page 5 • Allow one tow-vehicle/tow dolly/vehicle-in-tow length for each 10 m.p.h. behind another vehicle. • ALWAYS check the hitch, tow dolly and vehicle-in-tow at each stop to insure that coupling, chains and tie down equipment remain tight and properly attached. Use tow dolly checklist as an aid.
- Page 6 When On the Road: • Reduce Speed • Think Ahead • Allow for extra length when turning • Anticipate Stops/Brake Early • Stop Often for Rest • Use Safety Checklist at Each Stop TOWING VEHICLE SIZE AND TOWING CAPACITY Towing vehicle must weigh at least 750 lbs. more than weight of vehicle-in-tow. Example: A 2,750 lb.
- Page 7 Engine and Transmission Cooling Towing a loaded tow dolly can be quite demanding on engine and transmission cooling systems of tow vehicle, especially if towing Iong distance or in hilly terrain. Be sure your cooling system is in top shape, and adequate for towing anticipated load. Engine oil should be fresh and of maximum viscosity recommended for your particular engine.
- Page 8 Vehicle-in-Tow Facing Forward Vehicle-in-tow must always be facing forward (front wheels on tow dolly). Transmission Damage to Towed Vehicles When towing a rear axle driven front engine vehicle, the drive shaft must be disconnected to prevent transmission damage. Simply placing transmission in neutral is not sufficient and will not prevent damage due to a lack of internal lubrication.
- Page 9 All vehicle combinations have a speed beyond which adequate emergency control cannot be assured. Maximum recommended speed for all tow dolly combinations is 55 m.p.h. under good road conditions. As road conditions deteriorate you must reduce the maximum recommended speed. Posted speed limit is usually the same for trucks and car-trailer combinations.
- Page 10 BREAKDOWNS Get Off The Road Immediately park tow vehicle-tow dolly combination in a safe place completely off the highway. Get all occupants out of vehicle and away from roadway. If you must continue on the highway to reach a safe place off the road, turn on emergency flashers and proceed with caution.
