Emergency repairs
If the differential is damaged:
– Hoist the vehicle at the rear and lock the steering wheel in the straight-ahead
position.
– In vehicles without oil-lubricated rear hubs, the axle shaft can be removed on
both sides.
Installing the towing eye
Remove the front plate cover plate at
the left-hand or right-hand side by
pulling it forward (A).
1. Remove the rubber cover.
2. Screw in the towing eye fully so the
entire thread is used.
3. Then turn the towing eye anti-
clockwise (maximum 90 degrees)
so the towing bar can be attached to
the towing eye.
The maximum GVW the towing eye
may pull is 40 tons.
NOTE: To lift the vehicle two towing eyes must be used and both pins must
be perpendicular to the lifting cable or chain. Turn the towing eyes anti-
clockwise (maximum 180 degrees) to achieve this position.
Long-distance towing
If the vehicle must be towed over a longer distance, use a recovery vehicle that lifts the
vehicle to be towed under its front axle. Do not run the engine because of the risk of
engine lubrication failure.
Tow starting
If the vehicle must be towed to start the engine, turn the ignition key clockwise to
position D (M) of the ignition switch (ignition on).
