Towing and Tie Down
If the vehicle becomes disabled and cannot be moved
under engine power, the vehicle can be towed a short
distance (50 to 100 feet) by another piece of equipment,
which is designed for towing. However, when consider-
ing towing the vehicle longer distances (such as site to
site), the vehicle should be loaded onto a trailer for
transport.
Short Distance Towing —
Short distance towing should only be attempted when
the vehicle becomes disabled and would create a
potentially hazardous situation such as on a roadway
or in an unsafe area on the work site. Prepare the
vehicle for towing as follows:
Either
• detach the hydraulic line that pressurizes the
emergency brake and attach a portable hydraulic
pressurizing unit to this port on the emergency
brake assembly and apply at least 300 psi
(20,8 bar) to deactivate the emergency brake.
or
• remove the rear drive shaft from between the emer-
gency brake and drop box and using a tow truck or
another piece of equipment which is designed
for towing, raise rear of the vehicle off the ground.
or
• remove the rear drive shaft from between the emer-
gency brake and drop box and remove the
emergency brake assembly from the rear axle.
The vehicle can now be towed or pushed out of the way.
IMPORTANT: Without engine power, the vehicle will not
have service brakes for stopping. Steering will also be
extremely difficult. Tow or push the vehicle at a very slow
speed!
Tie Down —
This vehicle is equipped with tie down holes in the frame
on the front and rear ends for transport tie down.
