Front Towing Hookup
- Disconnect the battery ground cable.
- If the vehicle is to be lifted and towed, remove the driveshaft.
- Attach the towing device.
- Lift the vehicle and secure the safety towing chains. If additional clearance is needed, remove the front wheels.
- Connect the clearance lights, taillights, and signal lights. Connect any special towing lights required by local regulations.
- Release the parking brake.
Notice: Before attempting to tow a vehicle with air suspension (and during the towing operation), ensure that the air suspension is properly aired. Air the suspension through the Schrader valve on the air dryer. Attempting to tow a vehicle with an improperly aired suspension may result in damage to the chassis and body.
Warning: Due to the many variables that exist in towing, positioning the lifting and towing device is the sole responsibility of the tow vehicle operator. The operator must be familiar with standard towing industry safety measures. Improper procedures could result in personal injury or death.
Notice: Failure to remove the driveshaft when towing the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground could result in damage to the transmission and other parts.
Warning: Before releasing the parking brakes, make the connection to the towing vehicle or chock the tires on the disabled vehicle. Failure to do so could result in hazardous conditions because the vehicle could suddenly roll and injury could occur.
