CAUTION:
To help avoid injury to you or others:

Never let passengers ride in a vehicle that is
being towed.

Never tow faster than safe or posted speeds.

Never tow with damaged parts not
fully secured.

Never get under your vehicle after it has
been lifted.

Always use separate safety chains on each
side when towing a vehicle.
If your vehicle uses dragfoilers, be sure to have the
dragfoiler
-to-cab mounting bracket bolts tightened after
your vehicle has been towed.
Here are specific towing instructions:
Towing Your Vehicle From the
Front (Front Wheels Off the Ground)
Before Towing
Block the rear wheels of the disabled vehicle. On
vehicles with air brakes, release the emergency brake
system by compressing the brake chamber springs as
outlined in this section. (Note: This is to prevent the
possibility of the emergency brake being applied
during towing.)
On vehicles with hydraulic brakes without an
electric/hydraulic parking brake, release the
parking brake fully by moving the lever to the
fully
-released position.
On vehicles equipped with an electric/hydraulic parking
brake option, remove the propshaft.

(10) = Check clutch pedal for free travel. Press pedal
by hand until resistance is felt. Free travel should be
maintained at 1.5 to 2 inches (38 to 51 mm) measured
at the clutch pedal pad. Make checks at 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 6,000 miles (10 000 km) and then every
6,000 miles (10 000 km) thereafter.
(11) = Inspect rear axle air shift motor for fluid leaks.
Remove plug to check fluid level. Inspect air lines and
hoses for proper hook
-up, binding, leaks, etc. Inspect at
3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 24,000 miles (40 000 km)
and then every 24,000 miles (40 000 km) thereafter.
(12) = Chassis Lubrication Service: Lubricate all grease
fittings in front suspension, front axle and steering
linkage. DO NOT lubricate kingpin bushings with air
pressure equipment; instead, use a hand grease gun to
ensure complete purge and eliminate sealer cap
distortion. Lubricate transmission and shift linkage,
hood latches and hood hinges, parking brake lever pivot,
clevis pins and linkage, disc brake caliper rails, clutch
linkage and release bearing (if equipped), propeller shaft
slip joint, universal joint, brake camshaft bracket, slack
adjusters, pedal shaft, clutch cross shaft and clutch pedal
springs. Lubricate suspension, axle and steering linkage
more often when operating under dusty or muddy
conditions and in excessive off
-road use.(13) = Check steering system:

Look for damaged, loose or missing parts. Also
look for parts showing signs of wear or lack of
lubrication. Replace parts as needed. Also check
steering gear mounting bolts, pitman arm nut, gear
housing upper cover and side cover attaching bolts,
steering column mounting bolts and cardan
joint clamp bolts; tighten if necessary.
(See service manual.)

Inspect power steering hoses, tubes and fittings for
leaks. Hoses and lines must not be twisted, kinked or
tightly bent. Make sure clips, clamps, supporting
tubes and hoses are in place and properly secured.

Check steering gear for leakage around pitman shaft
and housing. If leakage is evident (lubricant
oozing out, not just oily film), leak should be
corrected immediately.
(14) = Check front and rear suspension. Look for
damaged, loose or missing parts or parts showing signs
of wear or lack of lubrication. Replace parts as needed.
(15) = Adjust tire pressures as indicated on the
Certification/Tire label for optimum tire life. See ªTiresº
in the Index for further details. Check tires for excessive
or abnormal wear or damage. Also check for damaged
wheels. Replace wheels and/or tires as needed.
