you or others:

that is being towed.
• Never tow faster than safe or posted

•
Working on air brakes without first
using the release studs to compress
the springs can lead to injury. Never
work on the air brakes chambers
without first using the release studs
to compress the brake springs.
• When the brake springs are manually
compressed, you will have no brakes.
Release your air-operated parking
brakes manually only to tow the
vehicle. Never drive the vehicle with
the brakes released.
Consult your dealer/retailer or a professional
towing service if you need to have your vehicle
towed. They can provide the right equipment
and know-how to tow it without damage.
See Roadside Assistance Program on page 332.
Before you do anything, turn on the hazard
warning flashers (if they have not been damaged).
See Hazard Warning Flashers on page 102 for
more information.
