CLEARANCES AND RAMP ANGLE
SURFACE CLEARANCE
The end of the disabled vehicle that is attached to
the tow vehicle should be lifted a minimum of 10 cm
or four inches off the surface. Inspect to ensure that
the opposite end of the disabled vehicle has clearance
from the surface.
RAMP ANGLEÐFLAT-BED TOWING
If a vehicle with flat-bed towing equipment is used,
the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15 de-
grees.
SLING-TYPE, FRONT-END TOWING
XJ VEHICLES
Use the following guidelines when the tow vehicle
is attached to the front end of a disabled vehicle.
(1) Always tow with the front wheels lifted off the
surface and turned all the way to the right.
(2) Attach a J-hook to the disabled vehicle at the
left side of the axle (Fig. 10).
(3) Position the sling crossbar close to the J-hook
and below the front bumper (Fig. 11).
(4) Secure a chain to the right side of vehicle by
placing it over the axle shaft tube and attaching it to
a structural member.
(5) Attach the safety chains to the vehicle.

methods can be used to tow a 4WD vehicle.
Drive shafts not removed, place the rear
wheels on a tow dolly and tow with the front
end raised.
Drive shafts not removed, place the front
wheels on a tow dolly and tow with the rear end
raised.
Rear drive shaft removed, tow with the front
end raised.

the applicable procedure.
FLAT TOWING (4 TIRES/WHEELS ON
SURFACE)
Tow a vehicle in this manner only when all four
wheels will freely rotate. Prepare the vehicle accord-
ing to the following procedures.
2WD VEHICLES
(1) Mark the drive shaft and the axle drive pinion
gear shaft yoke for installation alignment reference.
(2) Remove the drive shaft. Install a protective
covering over the drive shaft U-joints to retain them
assembled and protected.
(3) Cover the open end of the transmission exten-
sion housing.4WD VEHICLES
(1) Mark the drive shafts and the axle drive pinion
gear shaft yokes for installation alignment reference.
(2) Remove the drive shafts. Install a protective
covering over the drive shaft U-joints/CV-joints to re-
tain them assembled and protected.
(3) Cover the exposed ends of the transfer case.
CAUTION: Whenever a drive shaft has been re-
moved and installed, check the transmission fluid
level of the transmission and transfer case. Driving
a vehicle with low tranfer case fluid can damage the
transmission and transfer case.
EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS
WARNING: REMAIN AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM A
VEHICLE THAT IS BEING TOWED VIA ITS TOW
HOOKS. THE TOW STRAPS/CHAINS COULD POSSI-
BLY BREAK AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
Some Jeeptvehicles are equipped with emergency
tow hooks located at the front end (Fig. 15). Some
Jeeptvehicles also have emergency tow hooks lo-
cated at the rear ende. The tow hooks should be used
forEMERGENCYpurposes only.
CAUTION: DO NOT use emergency tow hooks for
tow truck hook-up or highway towing.
