4. TOWING THE VEHICLE
The vehicle can be transported on a low bed
semi-trailer of adequate gross axle weight
capacity. When transporting a vehicle, apply
parking brake and shut down the engine. Block
all wheels and secure vehicle with tie-downs.
Check that overall height will clear obstacles on
the route to follow, and obtain required permits.
The vehicle can also be towed by lifting the front
axle or by towing from the front with all wheels
on the ground. These two methods are
described below under their respective
headings. Whatever the method used, the
vehicle should be towed by truck operators
authorized and experienced in towing highway
coaches.
