Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Tow Truck Towing

CAUTION:
^ All applicable state or provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
^ It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during towing operation.
^ Always attach safety chains before towing.
^ When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and power train are in good order. If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.




INFINITY recommends that a dolly or a flat bed truck be used as illustrated when towing all-mode 4-wheel drive models.




VEHICLE RECOVERY (Freeing a stuck vehicle)
^ Use the towing hook only, not other parts of the vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
^ Use the towing hook only to free a vehicle stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. Never tow the vehicle for a long distance using only the towing hook.
^ The towing hook is under tremendous force when used to free a stuck vehicle. Always pull the cable straight out from the front or rear of the vehicle. Never pull on the hook at a sideways angle.
^ Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
