1.5 Vehicle Towing
Towing a vehicle requires special equipment and training.
Kalmar Solutions, LLC, recommends that a professional towing
service be used when towing a disabled Kalmar tractor.
The best way to tow a Kalmar tractor is with the rear wheels
lifted off the road. This prevents any possible damage to the
transmission and drivetrain. Towing the vehicle with the rear
wheels lifted avoids having to disconnect the driveline or axle
shafts. Also, towing with the rear wheels lifted does not require
the spring brakes to be caged unless there are spring brakes
on the front wheels.
If it is impossible to tow the vehicle with the rear wheels lifted,
be sure to follow the steps listed below, "Towing Vehicle with
Front Wheels Suspended".
NOTICE
Some vehicles are equipped with "Off Highway" tires. Tire
damage may occur if towed on the road.
