If the tow pole is damaged, remove from service. 9 Check vehicle manufacturer’s instructions to determine whether the vehicle is equipped with proper tow fittings suitable for use with a tow pole. Also any check manufacturer’s special instructions for vehicles with automatic transmission or four wheel drive. 9 Use tow pole only on vehicles with standard tow eyes. DO NOT use transportation ‘tie down’ points. 9 Ensure the tow eyes and the areas of the vehicles to which the eyes are fitted are strong and solid enough for towing. DO NOT use the tow pole if there is damage or heavy rust around the fitting area and ensure the eyes are approximately the same height from the ground. 9 Place an “ON TOW” notice in the back window or other visible location at the rear of the towed vehicle. Attach a red marker (provided) to the centre of the tow pole. The vehicle to be towed must be fully legal in respect of having the registration number visible at all times, must have a valid road tax, insurance and relevant current DfT test certificate. DO NOT tow a vehicle that lacks one or more of these requirements. 9 Towed vehicle must have the ignition on in order to operate lights, brake lights and indicators. If these lights cannot be operated, you must fit a repeater trailer board to towed vehicle. Contact your local Sealey stockist for information relating to approved towing boards which must incorporate lighting and signalling equipment. 9 Ensure that the person in the towed vehicle is aware that, if servo brakes and/or power steering are fitted, then braking and/or steering efforts will be very much higher than normal when the engine is not running. 9 Read vehicle manufacturers instructions before use. 9 Maximum rolling load capacity 2000kg. 8 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the tow pole. 8 DO NOT exceed a maximum towing speed of 15mph. 8 DO NOT use the tow pole if damaged. 8 DO NOT tow vehicle if the steering lock cannot be disengaged. 8 DO NOT use the tow pole on a vehicle with defective braking system. 8 DO NOT tow an unmanned vehicle. 8 DO NOT force the tow pole to achieve a task it was not designed to perform. 8 DO NOT allow untrained persons to use the tow pole. 8 DO NOT operate the tow pole if any parts are missing as this may cause failure and possible personal injury. 2. i INTRODUCTION 2000Kg Rolling capacity tow bar ideal for the safe secure towing of motor vehicles.
