Emergency Operations
3606 Rev 11/99 83
Emergency Operations
Towing a disabled vehicle should only be attempted after exhausting all
other options. Every effort should be made to repair the vehicle, and move it
under its own power before using the following emergency towing
procedures.
To prepare the vehicle for towing, the two spring applied parking brake
mechanisms must be disabled at the front axle. This will allow the front
wheels to turn freely during emergency towing.
IMPORTANT! After the vehicle has been towed to a secure location, it is
extremely important that the parking brake be re-activated. Follow these
procedures carefully from start to finish. Consult your local Sky Trak
Distributor or the Sky Trak Service Department if you are unsure about any
part of this procedure or for specific instructions for your particular situation.
Disabling the Parking Brake
1. Place an accident prevention tag on both the ignition key and the
steering wheel (Figure 52).
