Safety Operation & Maintenance Manual
The compressor must be towed in a level attitude in order to maintain correct handling,
braking, and lighting functions. This can be achieved by correct selection and adjustment of
the vehicle towing hitch and, on variable height running gear, adjustment of the drawbar.
1. Ensure wheels, tires, and drawbar connectors are in safe operating condition and drawbar
is properly connected before towing.
2. When parking, always use the handbrake and, if necessary, suitable wheel chocks.
Safety Chains/Breakaway Cable And Their Adjustment (Where Fitted).
Ensure breakaway cable is securely coupled to the towed compressor and also to a
substantial anchorage point on the towing vehicle.
Ensure cable length is as short as possible, while still allowing enough slackness for the
towed compressor to articulate without the brake being applied.
Attach safety chains to the towing vehicle at substantial anchorage points of suitable strength.
Ensure effective chain length is as short as possible while still allowing normal articulation of
the towed compressor and proper operation of the breakaway cable.
