PINTLE HOOKS:

Available Pintle Hooks allow the crane to tow other disabled vehicles and trailors, and drag

loads.

1. Observe the capacity ratings marked near the hook when towing.

2. Exceeding the capacities can damage the drivetrain.

3. Use slow and smooth motions to avoid shock loads or overrunning loads. Make sure

vehicle being towed is occupied to steer and brake.

Pintle Hooks also allow the crane to be towed.

1. Use appropriately sized straps or chains.

2. Place transmission in Neutral. Utilize an Operator to activate brakes as needed and

steer the crane while being towed.

3. Do not exceed a towing speed of 5 mph (8 kph).
