Towing Vehicle with Rear Wheels Suspended
CAUTION
To prevent damage to cab roof or air deflector
when towing the vehicle backwards (rear wheels
suspended) the air deflector must be removed.
Whenever possible, it is preferable to tow a disabled vehicle from
the rear by raising the rear of the chassis by the rear axles.
When towing a vehicle with rear of the chassis suspended, the
front wheels must be locked in the straight ahead position.
Vehicles with manual shift transmissions must have at least one
(1) pint of transmission lubricant drained from the case. This will
prevent transmission lubricant from entering the clutch housing
and lubricant saturating the clutch discs. Make sure that the
transmission lubricant is replaced before the vehicle is returned
to service.
Tractor-Trailer Connections
WARNING
Whenever possible, make trailer connections
while standing on the ground. Provide adequate
lighting of working areas. Inclement weather and
accumulated road contamination deposits on
hand holds and stepping surfaces require extra
care to prevent slips and falls which could cause
personal injury or death.
Do not climb on the back of a tractor unless it
has been provided with a deck plate and hand
holds. Use a three-point stance when climbing
up and down from a deck plate. Do not jump from
vehicle.
