Chapter 8. VeHICle TOWING
The front and rear parts of the frame (Fig. 8.1) are equipped
with towing eyes for flexible towing. Before towing, turn on the
ignition (position I, Fig. 3.4) and light alarm. When towing,
check the tension of the rope. Tow the motor vehicle smoothly,
without jerks.
The towing of a trailer is possible only if the vehicle is equipped
with a ball-type tow hitch.
WARNING!
Remember that when the engine turns off, the
forces required for steering input and motor vehicle braking increase
significantly.
Strictly follow the requirements listed in "The Highway Code"
when towing.
If the brake or steering system is broken, it is forbidden to drive
or tow the motor vehicle with a tow rope. In this case use the two
wheel towing or tow truck service.
It is strictly forbidden to tow the motor vehicle using the ball-
type tow hitch!
