FOR EMERGENCY SITUATION ONLY
CAUTION
The bus should NOT be lifted and towed from the rear unless an emergency situation occurs or when the
bus has already been damaged and must be moved over a very short distance such as in a parking lot.
Lifting the rear end from the engine cradle or from the side-members located under the engine cradle
support rails should be avoided. Doing so
may cause structural damage (see image further in this
document).
3.1 PRECAUTIONS
In an emergency or if the vehicle has to be
moved over a short distance, the side-
members may be used as lifting point. Try
to lift from the strongest location along
the side-members which is near the rear
subframe vertical member (
Figure 60).
