Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed. A towed vehicle usually should have its drive wheels (rear wheels) off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies. CAUTION Don't tow the vehicle pointed forward with driving wheels on the ground. This may cause internal damage to the transmission. CAUTION Wheel dollies Don't tow with sling-type equipment. This could damage your vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed equipment. 7-25 Form No.8V89-EA-06F
