7.0 TOWING & TRANSPORTING
7.1 TOWING
Use a tow chain, strap or towing device long enough to provide a safe distance between vehicles. Connect the
selected towing device to the front tubular frame undercarriage. Connect the towing device to the towing vehicle
frame.
Turn the key to the off position. Disengage the parking brake. Do not exceed 5 MPH while towing. Allow only one
person in the towed vehicle to steer and apply additional braking, as necessary. Tow only one vehicle at a time
unless using a multiple vehicle towing bar system is used. Avoid sudden stops, sudden starts and sharp turns while
towing.
If the vehicle is equipped for trailer towing, do not over load the deck while towing heavy loads. The ACE Plus regen
traction system offers extra control for handling heavy towing loads, but the operator must not compromise the
vehicle’s ability to decelerate or stop with the extra load.
7.2 TRANSPORTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTICE: Never tow a vehicle behind an auto or truck unless on an approved trailer.
When trailering your vehicle over long distances or on the highway observe the following:
Use trailers specifically designed to carry your Columbia ParCar vehicle that meets all federal, state and local
requirements.
Secure vehicle to the trailer following trailer manufacturer’s instruction.
The key should be removed from the vehicle, the parking brake firmly locked, and the wheels blocked.
On vehicles equipped with high or wide additions or accessories be certain they are secured properly to prevent
loss or damage while trailering.
