CAUTION
In the event of power failure, the platform lift vehicle can be towed using the tie
down rings. Do not attempt to push the lift vehicle or use the lift vehicle to pull
another vehicle or object. Pushing the lift vehicle or using the vehicle for towing
may cause serious equipment damage.
The forks of a lift truck (2-ton minimum capacity) can be used to raise the SkyRider for
loading onto a trailer or for blocking up the lift vehicle for maintenance. In case of a bat-
tery power failure, the tow clevis can be used to pull the lift vehicle to a service area.
Before towing the SkyRider lift vehicle, you must manually disengage the travel brake
and disconnect the steering linkage. Refer to the illustrations in Figure 3-6.
