Operation
Before moving the towed vehicle, check for adequate road
clearance of vehicle components. Navistar, Inc. recommends
unloading the towed vehicle prior to towing to reduce any
abnormal loads to the vehicle components resulting from the
towing procedures. Before towing, be sure to fully release the
parking brake. The spring actuated type parking brake can be
released by recharging the air system with at least 64 psi (441
kPa) of air. If brake system will not retain air pressure, then
the spring brakes must be held in the released position (caged)
manually. See
Parking Brakes

Tow Hooks
Two removable front tow hooks are optional on International
®
ProStar
®
+ Series models. The tow hooks are inserted directly
into the front suspension bracket when in use, and can be
conveniently stored in the cab when not in use. Tow hooks
provide a convenient attachment point from which to recover
the vehicle in emergency situations.
NOTE: The optional tow hooks are stored in a bracket
attached to the rear side of the seat bases on day cab
models and in a plastic case under the bunk on sleeper
models.
NOTE: Do not leave tow hooks in receivers when not in use.
