2. TOWING
Towing from the front is recommended in order to move an immobilized bus. Prevost does not
recommend towing from the rear using hoisting points that are not approved as the bus may sustain
structural damage.
The bus should be towed by truck operators authorized and experienced in towing highway buses.
Observe normal precautions including, but not limited to, the ones listed below when towing the bus:
Make sure the parking brake or the emergency brake is released at time of towing.
Do not allow passengers to ride onboard the towed bus.
Tow the bus at a safe speed as dictated by road and weather conditions.
Accelerate and decelerate slowly and cautiously.
Avoid sharp turns where possible.
WARNING
Do not carry passengers while the bus is being towed.
CAUTION
Avoid towing the bus from the rear using hoisting points that are not approved as this will cause
structural damage. In case of damage to the drive train components, use a low bed semi-trailer.
WARNING
Engage the parking brake to prevent the bus from moving before you begin maintenance or service
procedures that require you to be under the bus. Serious personal injury can result.
CAUTION
Lift the bus at the minimal height required for the bus to trail the tow truck.
