VEHICLE RECOVERY AND SPRING BRAKES
This action will lock the
differential by pushing a piston
into a "lock" position.
CAUTION
Failure to install the caging bolt when
towing vehicles with driver-control
main differential lock can result in
damage by failing to lock internal
components in position.
WARNING!
Ensure there are no open air lines
on the recovered vehicle if the re-
covery vehicle and recovered vehicle
brake systems are connected.
An
open air line on the recovered vehi-
cle will cause a leak in the air brake
system of the recovery vehicle pos-
sibly causing death, personal injury,
equipment or property damage.
CAUTION
A recovered vehicle will have no op-
erational brake system. Additionally,
the rear axle spring brakes will prob-
ably be applied.
• If you desire to use the recovered
vehicle’s brakes, ensure that the
vehicles air system is connected
to that of the recovery vehicle.
Also ensure that any air line
that has been removed from a
driver-controlled main differential
lock is firmly capped to prevent
loss of air pressure from the
recovery vehicle.
• If you don’t desire to use the
recovered vehicle’s brakes,
ensure that you cage the spring
brakes before attempting to
move the vehicle.
4. Install recovery hitches and
rigging.
CAUTION
Connect recovery rigging only to
hitches intended for that purpose.
Do not attach to bumpers or brack-
ets. Connections to other structural
parts could damage the vehicle.
