Maintain the tow pole in good condition at all times. If the tow pole is damaged, remove from
service.
Check vehicle manufacturer’s instructions to determine whether the vehicle is equipped with
proper tow fittings suitable for use with a tow pole. Also any special instructions for vehicles with
automatic transmission or four-wheel drive.
Use tow pole only on vehicles with standard tow eyes. DO NOT use transportation 'tie down' points.
Ensure the tow eyes, and the areas of the vehicles to which the eyes are fitted, are strong and solid
enough for towing. DO NOT use the tow pole if there is damage or heavy rust around the fitting
area and ensure the eyes are approximately the same height from the ground.
Place an “ON TOW” notice in the back window or other visible location at the rear of the towed
vehicle. Attach a red marker (provided) to the centre of the tow pole.
The vehicle to be towed must be fully legal in respect of having the registration number visible at
all times, must have valid road tax, insurance and relevant current DOT test certificate. DO NOT tow
a vehicle that lacks one or more of these requirements.
Towed vehicle must have the ignition in order to operate the lights, brake lights and indicators. If
these lights cannot be operated, you must fit a repeater trailer board to towed vehicle. Contact
your local dealer for information relating to approved towing boards, which must incorporate
lighting and signalling equipment.
Ensure that the person in the towed vehicle is aware that, if servo brakes and/or power steering
are fitted, then braking and/or steering efforts will be very much higher than normal when the
engine is not running.
Read vehicle manufacturers instructions before use.
