Vehicle Recovery
0-0-10 Workshop Manual Issue 5, January 2010
Vehicle Recovery
General
Preferred method of vehicle recovery is by flat bed
transporter.
The towing eye is primarily for emergency use when towing
for short distances, e.g. removing vehicle if it is causing an
obstruction or winching vehicl e onto a flatbed transporter.
If moving this vehicle in such a situation, install the towing
eye to the bracket in the lower grille aperture.
Transporting
If vehicle is to be transported on a trailer or flat bed
transporter the handbrake must be applied and the road
wheels must be chocked.
Suspended Towing
Take care when using 'spectacle frame' type towing
equipment that the towing device is well clear of front or
rear apron. Body damage may occur if vehicle passes over
uneven road surfaces.
Front Suspended Tow
1. Remove the ignition key from the ignition.
2. Raise the vehicle using a ‘spectacle frame’ type lifting device with a cradle positioned under each front wheel
as indicated below.
Rear Suspended Tow
1. Set the steering in the ‘straight ahead’ position.
Remove the ignition key from the ignition. Ensure the
steering is locked in the straight ahead position.
2. Raise the vehicle using a 'spectacle frame' style lifting device where a cradle is positioned under each rear
wheel as indicated below.
Adhere to Towing Regulations
In certain countries the regi stration number of towing
vehicle and an ‘ON TOW’ sign or warning triangle must be
displayed in a prominent position at the rear of vehicle being
towed.
To w i n g b y A n o t h e r V e h i c l e
This vehicle may be towed short distances by another
vehicle provided that a speed of 48 km/h (30 mph) is not
exceeded. Ensure the towed vehicle gear selection is in
‘Neutral’ with ignition key turned to position ‘II’ to release
steering lock and to render hor n, indicators and brake lights
operational.
Caution
Take care to protect the paint work when installing the towing eye. Ensure the towing eye is tight.
Caution
Do not tow with ‘sling’ type equipment as this
could result in damage to the bodywork.
WAR NI NG
WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING, THE STEERING WILL NO LONGER BE POWER-ASSISTED AND THE
BRAKE BOOSTER WILL BECOME INEFFECTIVE AFTER A FEW APPLICATIONS OF TH E BRAKES. BE PREPARED
FOR RELATIVELY HEAVY STEERING AND THE NEED
FOR GREATLY INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE.

Brake Systems (06.00)
Hand Brake (06.05)
Description
The handbrake control lever is located on the outside of the drivers seat and brakes the rear road wheels through a cable
system and two mechanical handbrake Calipers. Handbrake pads are applied by the mechanical brake Calipers (x2), one
acting on each rear road wheel brake disc. The Calipers are bo lted to the vertical links. Return springs on each Caliper
retract the pads when the parking brake is released.
Wear in the parking brake pads is compensated for automati cally by a mechanism within the calipers. Cable stretch is
compensated by cable adjusters.
A handbrake switch is wired normally closed. The switch is he ld open whilst the handbrake is ‘off’ and closes when the
handbrake is applied. The handbrake warning lamp on the instrument panel is illuminated when the handbrake is applied.
