LIFTING FROM UNDER THE FRONT AXLE
3. Operate the engine when towing to maintain
brake system air pressure. If the engine
cannot be operated, connect an external air
pressure line from the tow truck to the front
towing air supply connector (see section 2
for the location). The emergency fill valve in
the front service compartment does not
supply air pressure to the brake system. The
air pressure must be a minimum of 75 psi
(520 kPa), and the line should be attached
to the air line with a clip-on chuck.
4. Observe safety precautions when towing.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle without external air
pressure applied to the emergency fill valve if
the engine does not operate. Without brake
system air pressure, the brakes may apply
automatically if system air drops below 40 psi
(275 kPa). If failure prevents releasing the
parking brakes with air pressure, disengage
the parking brakes mechanically.
CAUTION
Make sure a safe distance is kept between the
front of the coach and the tow truck. This
space ensures that coach does not suffer
damages when being towed.
