If there's a transmission issue or wheel/tire damage,
don't tow the vehicle. Only transport it on a atbed truck.
Towing a vehicle
with these problems will cause more
damage.
TRANSPORTING YOUR GRENADIER
Your Grenadier is
best transported using a atbed truck or other
system that lifts all four wheels so that none roll on the pavement
or ground. Towing with tires on the ground can damage the
drivetrain or related parts.
If you must call a towing company, make sure to explain that you
need a atbed truck or some other similar system to get all four
wheels o the ground.
Follow the instructions in Preparing Your Grenadier for
Transporting before moving your Grenadier onto the atbed
truck.
EMERGENCY TOWING WITH FOUR WHEELS ON THE GROUND
If you must tow with any wheels rolling on the ground, make sure
that it is all four wheels and not just the two front or two rear
wheels. Follow the instructions in Preparing Your Grenadier for
Transporting, Towing, or Recovery. Towing with only two wheels
on the ground will damage your transmission.
RECOVERY
In an emergency and in the absence of a atbed tow truck, your
Grenadier can be towed for very short distances by using cables
or chains attached to the emergency towing hooks.
You must follow the instructions in Preparing Your Grenadier for
Transporting before recovering it to avoid transmission damage.
This method should only be used on hard-surfaced roads for very
short distances and at low speeds. It may be used for recovery
when o-road if there are no other options, but only for a distance
sucient to switch to one of the other methods of towing
described previously. It's imperative to have a driver inside the
vehicle to steer and manage the brakes. Additionally, make sure
that the vehicle’s wheels, drivetrain, axles, steering, and brakes are
in optimal condition before proceeding.
Your Grenadier is equipped with two front and two rear towing
eyes attached to the frame. Do not exceed their maximum load
ratings:
VEHICLE END LOAD DIRECTION MAXIMUM LOAD
Front
Horizontal 8,992 lbf. (40 kN)
Vertical 6,744 lbf. (30 kN)
Rear
Horizontal 7,868 lbf. (35 kN)
Vertical 5,058 lbf. (22.5 kN)
Use only one towing eye on the end of the vehicle you are towing
from, and always use a tow strap with an appropriate load rating.
