VEHICLE RECOVERY
Tow flaps
Before proceeding to any vehicle recovery operations, set the parking brake
and insert the wheel block beneath the wheels in order to prevent undesired
shifting of vehicle position. Proceed with the maximum attention while
making the vehicle recovery connection in order to avoid accident.
If the vehicle must be towed due to malfunction, use a fixed bar suited to its weight
fastened to the tow flaps located at the front of the vehicle. (see photo).
If possible, perform the recovery of the vehicle with the engine running in
order to keep the brakes and steering system in operation.
If the engine is not kept running, bear in mind the following:
-remove the transmission shafts;
-limit towing to short distances;
-maintain a towing speed of less than 8 km/h.
Always switch on the emergency lights and the rotating light during vehicle
recovery operations.
Vehicle recovery is a delicate operation performed at the operator’s risk.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for damage and accident that occur.
