CAUTION
Make sure axle shafts or driveshaft are
installed correctly after towing. Tighten axle
shaft and driveshaft nuts to the correct torque
settings. Do not invert shafts.
TOWING WITHOUT LIFTING
CAUTION
When towing vehicle without lifting, use only a
tow truck with a solid link tow bar and related
equipment. All other means of towing are
unauthorized. Tow only from the front of the
vehicle.
1. Remove both drive axle shafts to prevent
damage to the transmission. Plug axle tube
to prevent oil loss. Refer to Rockwell's
"Maintenance manual no.5"
annexed at the
end of Section 11: Rear Axle of the
maintenance manual.
CAUTION
Transmission lubrication is inadequate when
towing. With automatic, semi-automatic or
manual transmission, the axle shafts or
driveshaft must be disconnected to avoid
serious damage to the transmission. Do not
attempt to push or pull-start the coach.
2. Operate the engine when towing to maintain
brake system air pressure. If the engine
cannot be operated, connect an external air
pressure line from the tow truck to the
emergency fill valve in the engine R.H. side
compartment. The emergency fill valve in
the front service compartment does not
supply air pressure to the brake system. The
air pressure must be a minimum of 75 psi
(520 kPa), and the line should be attached
to the air line with a clip-on chuck.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle without external air
pressure applied to the emergency fill valve if
the engine does not operate. Without brake
system air pressure, the brakes may apply
automatically if system air drops below 40 psi
(275 kPa). If failure prevents releasing the
parking brakes with air pressure, disengage
the parking brakes mechanically.
3. Position the tow truck so that the tow bar
contacts the front bumper of the vehicle.
4. Attach the tow truck chains only in the tow
eyes of the vehicle and take up all the slack.
5. Use a safety chain as applicable.
6. Observe safety precautions when towing.

CAUTION
Make sure axle shafts or driveshaft are
installed correctly after towing. Tighten axle
shaft and driveshaft nuts to the correct torque
settings. Do not invert shafts.
A. Vehicle must be towed FORWARD only
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
The inner lamps only also called high beams
illuminate automatically when the engine is
started and the parking brake is released to
serve as daytime running lights. The daytime
running lights provide added safety by making
the traveling vehicle more visible to other drivers
during the day.
