PUSHING, TOWING, AND LIFTING
NOTE: Towing to start is not recommended
due to the possibility of the disabled truck ac­
celerating into the tow vehicle.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
When a push start is necessary turn off all electrical
loads such as heater, radio and, if possible, lights, turn
on key, depress the clutch, and place the shift lever in
3rd gear. Release the clutch when your speed reaches
10 to 15 miles per hour.
Towing
If a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission
becomes disabled and requires towing, speed must not
exceed 30 MPH. Drive shaft must be disconnected, if
vehicle is to be towed at speeds above 30 MPH.
Both manual and automatic transmissions should be ^
towed in neutral only, with parking brakes fully released.
When towing a vehicle on its front wheels only, the
steering wheel should be secured to maintain a straight
forward position.
Push Starts—Trucks Equipped with
Automatic Transmission
Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing the truck.
Should the battery become discharged, it will be neces­
sary to use an auxiliary battery with jumper cables to
start the engine.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical
system never connect booster batteries in ex"
cess of
1 2

and negative to negative.
