TOWING A DISABLED MACHINE

Towing a disabled machine should only be attempted as
a last resort, after exhausting all other options. Make
every effort to repair the machine, and move it under its
own power. Towing the machine improperly can result in
damage to the machine drivetrain.

Note: In the event the machine 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 JLG distributor for specific instructions
for your particular situation.

If it is necessary to tow the machine 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 machine for towing as follows:

1. Remove the load from the machine.

2. Block all four wheels to help prevent the machine

from moving after the parking brake is disabled.

3. Remove the transmission covers.

4. Position the towing vehicle in place. Attach any

chains needed to secure the disabled machine.
