ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM OPERATING INFORMATION PART 7: STARTING & OPERATING THE VEHICLE
– 108 – Y53-6032 (05/10)
• If you don’t desire to use the recovered
vehicle’s brakes, ensure that you cage the
spring brakes before attempting to move
the vehicle.
4. Install recovery hitches and rigging.
CAUTION: Connect recovery rigging only to
hitches intended for that purpose. Do not
attach to bumpers or brackets. Connections
to other structural parts could damage the
vehicle.
5. Follow all state/provincial and local laws that apply to
vehicles in tow.
6. Do not tow vehicles at speeds in excess of 55 mph
(90 kph).
Returning a Towed Vehicle to Service
You will have to add lubricant to prevent damage after
your vehicle has been towed.
1. Into the pinion cage, add 1 pint (.47 liter) of lubricant,
OR
Into the inter-axle differential, add 2 pints (.94 liter) of
lubricant. See the Index, under Lubricant Specifica-
tions, for the lubricant required by each axle.
2. After adding the specified type and amount of lubri-
cant, drive the vehicle. It should be unloaded. Drive 1
to 2 miles (1.5 to 3 km) at a speed lower than 25 mph
(40 km/h).
This will thoroughly circulate the lubricant through the
assembly.
Anti-Lock Braking System Operating
Information
A Model 587 is equipped with an anti-lock braking system
(ABS). This ABS reduces the possibility of wheel lock-up.
If a wheel is about to lock during braking, the ABS will
automatically adjust air pressure to the brake chambers
on the appropriate wheel(s) to prevent wheel lock-up. The
ABS is automatically turned on when the ignition switch is
turned on.
