OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
RETURNING VEHICLE TO SERVICE
Your vehicle may have lost lubricant while being towed. To prevent damage,
check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
After adding the specified type and amount of lubricant, drive the vehicle.
It should be unloaded. Drive 1.5 to 3km at a speed not exceeding 40km/h.
This will thoroughly circulate the lubricant through the assembly.
VEHICLE RECOVERY AND SPRING BRAKES
VEHICLE RECOVERY GUIDELINES
Your vehicle is equipped with removable recovery hitches, designed for
short distance recovery purposes only. Use only the provided hitches,
according the following instructions. When using this connection, do not
transport your vehicle over long distances. (If your vehicle does not have
the correct hitches, contact your dealer.)
All lubricating and clutch application oil pressure is provided by an engine
driven pump, which will not work when the engine is stopped. You could
seriously damage your vehicle by towing it with the driveline connected
and the drive wheels on the ground. Worse, when vehicles are towed,
either by wrecker or piggyback, the lubricant in the top front of the drive
axle will drain to the rear. This will leave the top components dry. The
resulting friction may damage them. Always remove the main drive axle
shafts before towing your vehicle.
Remove the drive axle shafts or lift the driving wheels off the ground before
towing the vehicle. Towing the vehicle with either the wheels on the ground
or the axle shafts in the axles will cause damage to the axle gears.
If your vehicle has a Meritor axle with a driver-controlled main differential
lock, install the caging bolt before removing the axles for towing, see Driver
Controlled Main Differential Lock on page 181. Installing the caging bolt
prevents damage by locking internal axle components in position.
Connect only to the recovery hitches,see Vehicle Recovery Guidelines on
page 200. Connections to other structural parts could damage the vehicle.
Do not attach to bumpers or brackets. Use only equipment designed for
this purpose. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.
