Tow Points

Do not attempt to tow the Mudd-Ox until completing all steps in this section.

1. The rear hitch can serve as a tow point. Push the closed loop of the tow strap inside the hitch, then install the

hitch pin inside the loop (A in Figure-1). This will keep the strap from sliding out. Note: For safety measures, nev-

er attempt to tow from the (2) safety chain mounts shown as “B” in Figure-2, nor install a ball hitch and wrap

the strap around it for towing. These actions may result in serious injury or death.

2. Figure-2 under Transportation shows wrapping a strap around the bearing boxes.

3. Figure-4 under Transportation shows hooking a strap to the tie downs.
