• To prevent damage to the front bumper when
raising the front wheels, attach an L-shaped pro-
tection plate.
• Tow the vehicle only with a truck that is specially
designed for towing heavy equipment.
• If you disconnect the rear axle shaft to tow the
vehicle, the axle lubricant level may be low.
Check the axle lubricant level and add more if
necessary. P. 11-23
• Attach the towing device securely to the front
axle. Due to the variables that exist in towing,
positioning the towing device is the sole respon-
sibility of the towing vehicle operator.
CAUTION
• Do not attach the towing device to the
bumper. This could damage the bumper.
• Before raising the front wheels for towing,
make sure that the towing device will not
damage the stabilizer bar or any other part of
the vehicle.
• If the towing device looks likely to cause
damage, use thicker L-shaped protection
plates to hold the device further from the
vehicle.
• Never use the tie-down hook(s) under the
frame for towing purposes. The tie-down
hook is used to secure the vehicle when
transporting it, not for towing. If the hook is
used for towing, it may cause damage to the
front bumper or frame.
