Towing
This vehicle is equipped with a standard automatic
electric parking brake. The brake is automatically
applied when the vehicle is stopped. There is a
parking brake bypass switch located on the right
side of the control box (see illustration). Place
this switch in the UP position to tow the vehicle
(see note below). This switch should be in the UP
position only while towing the vehicle. The switch
should be placed in the DOWN position
immediately after the towing is completed.
Leaving the switch in the UP position will
discharge the battery.
To tow this vehicle, attach a tow strap to the front
bumper tow-bar.
Use another driver to steer this vehicle while it is
being towed. Be sure the driver uses the brakes
when the towing vehicle slows or stops. Do not
tow the vehicle faster than 5 m.p.h. or its
maximum designed speed, whichever is lower.
If at all possible, this vehicle should be placed on
a carrier, rather than towing.
NOTE: The automatic electric brake is powered
by the vehicles battery. The brake may
not disengage if the battery is severely
discharged. A battery must be installed
to tow the vehicle.
