•

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.
