Block all wheels securely. Turn the hex-head on the parking brake actuator
anticlockwise until the brake pads are free from the disc. When the hydraulic
system is repaired, return the actuator to its original position by turning the hex-
head fully clockwise.
Connect a suitable towing bar to one of the lugs on the tractor frame of the
disabled vehicle and reverse another vehicle, in a straight and in-line manoeuvre,
towards the disabled vehicle. Connect the opposite end of the towing bar to the
towing pin of the recovery vehicle and ensure that it is securely locked.
Note: An alternative method of towing a disabled vehicle is by connecting an A-
Frame arrangement to the lugs on the tractor frame of the disabled vehicle and
the towing pin of the recovery vehicle.
To prevent possible damage to the transmission, the towing speed should never
exceed 10 km/h (6.2 mile/h) and the distance towed should not be longer than 10
km (6.2 miles).
WARNINGS
When moving the vehicle with
insufficient hydraulic pressure,
for safe braking and steering,
use extreme caution to ensure
personnel and property safety.
Make sure the parking
brake actuator is returned to its
original position, and the
parking brake is operating
correctly, before removing the
chock blocks from the wheels.
