Emergency Operations

Towing a disabled vehicle should only be attempted after exhausting all
other options. Every effort should be made to repair the vehicle and move it
under its own power. Towing the vehicle improperly can result in damage to
the vehicle drivetrain.

IMPORTANT! In the event the vehicle is disabled and cannot be moved
under engine power, the situation must be properly evaluated and dealt with
on an individual basis. Contact your local Sky Trak Distributor or the JLG
Service Department at (877) 554-5438 or (717) 485-6657 for specific
instructions for your particular situation.

If it is necessary to tow the vehicle a short distance to avoid a potentially
hazardous situation such as being in an unsafe area on the worksite or on a
roadway, prepare the vehicle for towing as follows:

1. Remove the load from the vehicle.

2. Block all four wheels to help prevent the vehicle from moving after

the parking brake is disabled.

3. Remove the six capscrews (1) and flat washers securing the trans-

mission covers (2) to the frame. Remove the covers.
