Towing Your Vehicle
Consult your dealer/retailer or a professional towing
service to have the vehicle towed. They can provide the
right equipment and know-how to tow it without
damage. SeeRoadside Assistance Program on
page 7-5.
Releasing Air-Operated Parking Brakes
If the vehicle has air brakes, there could be a special
towing problem. If the vehicle has to be towed because
of a complete loss of air pressure from both systems,
the parking brakes will have automatically engaged.The tow operator can release the brakes manually by
using the following steps. Then the vehicle can be towed
with all wheels or only the rear wheels on the ground.
1. Block the wheels of the vehicle.
2. Remove the release stud and nut from the side of
the brake chamber. Some chambers have studs
which are visible at all times.
