Sling-type equipment applied at the front

will damage radiator and air conditioning

lines.

It is equally important not to use sling-type

equipment at the rear or apply lifting equip-

ment inside the rear wheels; serious dam-

age to the rear axle may result.

If the vehicle is being towed on a flat bed

truck, the towing eyelets must not be used

to secure the vehicle on the flat bed. Con-

sult the tow truck operator.

WARNING

Remember that the power brakes and

power steering will not function when

engine is not running. The braking and

steering systems will function but the

brake pedal pressure required is

3 – 5 times above normal and greater

steering effort must be exerted.

The towing eyelets must not be used for

pulling the vehicle out of a ditch or for

any similar purpose involving severe

strain. Do not use the towing eyelets to

pull the vehicle up onto a flat bed tow

truck.
