MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
426
Towing Vehicle From Rear Method
This method is preferred when the proper equipment is not available to
perform the wheel lift method or the axle fork method, and is necessary
for wreckers not equipped with an under lift system.
Spring Eye and Hanger Lift Method
This method is permitted for under lift equipped units. Caution must be
taken not to damage the leaf spring (see illustration for proper
installation).
앫 Inspect the ends of the spring cradles for burrs or sharp edges
that could damage spring.
앫 When securing the vehicle to the boom, use (preferably) nylon
safety straps. Chains have a tendency to bind and may cause
damage to the axle.
When lifting a vehicle with the under lift boom (see
illustration) care must be taken not to damage the
engine oil pan. It may be necessary to remove front
fairing. If necessary, place a block of wood between
the top of the boom and the bottom of the axle.
