VEHICLE RECOVERY AND SPRING BRAKES
•
Be sure that transmission is fully
engaged in gear before releasing
the clutch pedal (manual only).
•
Do not shift into reverse while the
vehicle is moving.
•
If the vehicle needs to be
recovered from being stuck, do not
permit the vehicle to be towed for
long distances without removing
the driveshaft.
Tire Chains
If you need tire chains, install them on
both sides of the driving axle.
CAUTION
Chains on the tires of only one tan-
dem axle can damage the driveline
U-joints and the interaxle differen-
tial.
Repairs could be costly and
time-consuming. Failure to comply
may result in equipment damage.
Towing the Vehicle
Towing the vehicle should be done
by either an authorized dealer
or a commercial vehicle towing
service. The dealer or commercial
towing service will have the necessary
equipment to safely tow the vehicle and
should be able to make arrangements
to limit any damage to the vehicle. The
towing service and the dealer should
be aware of towing regulations and
safety precautions.
The towing service will ensure that the
following precautions are taken:
•
Use of a safety chain system.
•
Abide by all local towing
regulations.
•
Ensure that the towing device
does not contact any surfaces that
could be damaged while in transit.
•
If towing from the front, ensure
that the rear axles are prepared
for towing.
•
If towing from the rear, ensure
that all body components such as
roof, side and chassis fairings are
secured properly to avoid damage
while in transit.
WARNING!
Secure the roof, side and chassis
fairings while towing from the rear.
An unsecured fairing may come off
of the vehicle during transit. Failure
to secure the fairings while towing
may cause an injury accident result-
ing in death or personal injury.
