VEHICLE RECOVERY GUIDELINES Vehicle Recovery Guidelines Refer to the guidelines below when towing to prevent possible damage: • Use proper towing equipment to prevent damage to the vehicle. CAUTION: Connect only to the towing provisions, as described on the following pages. Connections to other structural parts could damage the vehicle. Do not attach to bumpers or bumper brackets. Use only equipment designed for this purpose. • Use a safety chain system and the vehicle’s (2) hitches. Be sure to use both hitches together to recover a vehicle. • Disconnect driveline. • Follow state/provincial and local laws that apply to vehicles in tow. • Do not tow vehicles at speeds in excess of 55 mph (90 km/h). STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE Recovery Rigging To connect to the Regional Haul vehicle, attach the towing chain or cable and the hitches to the (2) tow recievers through the center access hole in the bumper. Front Tow Hook Recievers Returning Vehicle to Service You will have to add lubricant to prevent damage after your vehicle has been towed. 1. Into the pinion cage, add 1 pint (.47 liter) of lubricant. – 138 – Y53-6033 Regional Haul (R05/10)
STARTING AND OPERATING THE VEHICLE 2. Into the inter-axle differential, add 2 pints (.94 liter) of approved lubricant. • See “Recommended Lubrication Types,” Page 166. 3. After adding the specified type and amount of lubricant, drive the vehicle. It should be unloaded. Drive 1 to 2 miles (1.5 to 3 km) at a speed lower than 25 mph (40 km/h). This will thoroughly circulate the lubricant through the assembly. Spring Brakes — Manual Release In order to tow a vehicle, if there is insufficient air to release the parking brake, the spring brakes can be manually released. WARNING! Do not drive vehicle with malfunctioning brakes. If one of the brake circuits should become inoperative, braking distances will increase substantially and handling characteristics while braking will be affected. You could lose control of your vehicle and cause an accident resulting in death or personal injury. Have it towed to the nearest dealer or qualified workshop for repair. SPRING BRAKES — MANUAL RELEASE You may sometimes have to release your vehicle's spring brakes by hand. This could happen if the system air pressure does not reach operating pressure because your engine or compressor is not working properly. You will have to release the spring brakes at the spring brake chambers. WARNING! Do not disassemble a spring brake chamber. These chambers contain a powerful spring that is compressed. Sudden release of this spring can cause death or personal injury. • Do not operate a vehicle when the spring brakes have been manually released. Driving a vehicle after its spring brakes are manually released is extremely dangerous. You will probably have no brakes at all. You could have a serious or fatal accident. • Releasing the spring brakes on an unsecured vehicle could lead to an accident. The vehicle could roll, causing severe injury. Always secure the vehicle with wheel chocks, chains, or other safe means to prevent rolling before manually releasing the spring brakes. Regional Haul (R05/10) Y53-6033 – 139 –
