DO-IT-YOURSELF
Tow
starting/towing
General
notes
• "owing eyes are provided on the
right
under
front
and rear bumpers.
Tow-ropes
or bars should be attached at
these
points only.
On
vehicles
with
a factory
fitted
towing bracket a towing eye is not fitted. On those
vehicles
the towing bracket can be used for
towing.
• The tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the risk of damage to both ve
hicles.
It is advisable to use synthetic fibre
ropes,
or ropes of similar elastic material. It
is
however
safer
to use a
tow-bar!
Avoid
excessive towing
effort
and do not
jerk.
During towing operations on other than
surfaced
roads there is always the danger
that
the attachment points will be over
loaded
and damaged.
•
Before
trying
to
start
engine
by
towing,
the
battery
from
another
ve
hicle
should be used for
starting
if
possible - see previous page. If the
vehicle
has to be tow
started
or
towed
at any
time,
the
following
must
be noted:
•
Check
whether there are any local traffic regulations concerning the towing of ve
hicles.
• Both drivers must be familiar
with
tow ing procedures. Inexperienced drivers
should
not attempt to tow start or tow.
• When using a tow-rope the driver of the towing vehicle must engage the clutch very gently when moving off and changing gear.
• The driver of the vehicle being towed must ensure
that
the tow-rope is always
taut.
• The emergency lights must be switchec
on on both vehicles - unless local regula
tions differ.
• Turn ignition key to "Drive" position sc
that
the steering wheel is free and the
turr
signals,
horn, and, if necessary, the wind
screen
wiper and washer can be
used.
• As the brake servo only works when the engine is running, considerably more pres
sure
is required on the brake pedal when the
engine is not running.
• On vehicles
with
power assisted steer ing more force is required to
turn
steering
wheel when engine is not running.
• When there is no lubricant in the manua or automatic gearbox, the vehicle may only
be
towed
with
driving wheels lifted.
