284 Emergency Information
Towing Instructions
WARNING
If the vehicle becomes disabled, it is
very important to tow it properly. Failure
to do so can cause damage to the frame
and body parts. Follow the instructions
below to avoid damage.
In the event that the vehicle cannot be
reached to place the wrecker lift bar under
the front axle, use the tow hooks in the
front of the vehicle. The front tow hooks
are used as a point at the front of the vehi-
cle where the vehicle can be pulled.
W8002767
When the vehicle is located properly, lift
the front and locate the lift bar under the
front axle and secure. Using the front axle
for towing minimizes the possibility for
damage to the vehicle body, frame and sus-
pension.
NOTE! When the drive shaft or axle shafts
are reinstalled, make sure the nuts are tight-
ened to the correct torques. Also make sure
the axle shafts are installed in the proper
sides, with the left shaft in the left side and
the right shaft in the right side.
