Daily Inspection
• If a Tow Tractor is operated with the old cables, the insula-
tion of the cable may be hardened or cracked. In that case,
the cables should be replaced with new cables having over
194°F (90°C) temperature rating.
Checking the service brake
• Depress the brake pedal with
your foot to check that a firm
resistance can be felt.
The pedal must not feel
spongy or give way. If it
does, the Tow Tractor must
not be used under any cir-
cumstances. Instead, you
should arrange for the brake
system to be serviced immediately.
• The pedal pad should also be replaced, if it no longer pro-
vides a good grip.
Checking the parking brake
• The brake is applied by mov-
ing the lever backwards and
released by moving it for-
wards.
• The parking brake (hand
brake) must hold your Tow
Tractor on a 15% grade with-
out load.
