Front End Towing (Front Wheels Off the Ground)
To relocate a disabled vehicle by front end towing with front
wheels raised off the ground, follow these steps.
1. Block the rear wheels of the disabled vehicle.
2. Release the parking brake as outlined in the brake section
of this manual.
See Caging the brakes in the Operator’s Manual or the sec-
tion on caging the brakes in this manual if there is no air
pressure in the system.
3. Disconnect the propeller shaft at the axle. Secure the pro-
peller shaft to the frame or cross member.
4. Remove the axle shafts if there is damage or suspected
damage to the axle(s).
5. Cover the hub openings to prevent loss of lubricant or entry
of dirt or foreign objects.
