Snorkel AB50JRT - Manual (Page 76)

■ Towing
DO NOT tow an AB50J unless it is equipped
with the optional tow kit.
A runaway AB50J can cause Death or
Serious Injury. If you have to move an AB50J
down a grade, chain a braking vehicle to the
“uphill” end of the AB50J.
Be certain the braking vehicle has the capacity
to stop and hold both itself and the AB50J on
the steepest grade they will encounter and
under the prevailing environmental conditions.
In an emergency when you have to move a
disabled AB50J a few feet to safety or for repairs,
do the following:
1. Chain a forklift or other heavy vehicle to the
front lifting tie down lugs and chain a similar
vehicle to the rear lifting tie down lugs.
2. At each drive wheel, remove the two bolts (1)
and turn the disconnect plate (2) over so that
the nipple (3) points into the drive motor, then
reinstall the bolts (1). This disengages the
brakes and lets the drive wheels freewheel.
3. Pull the AB50J, at less than 1 mph (1.6
km/h), to its new position then turn the
disconnect plates back over so the nipples
are out and the drive wheels are locked.
4. Unchain the AB50J.
■ Lifting
An AB50J can be safely lifted.
To prevent any damage to the AB50J or injury
to personnel, only a trained qualified service
technician should perform lifting.
