Proper way to tow a Wanderlodge
When all else fails
ALLISON Operator's Manual AT, MT, HT Series On-Highway Transmissions Allison Transmission AT 540 AT 542(N)®(NFE) AT 543 AT 545(N)® AT 1542P AT 1545P(N) MT 640, MT(B) 643, MT 643R, 644, 647 MT 650, MT(B) 653, 654CR HT 740(D)(RS)(FS) HT 747(D) HT 750CRD, HT 750DR (DB)(RS) HT 750DRI, HT 750DRD (DB) HT 754CRD, HT 754CR (RS) TOWING OR PUSHING PARKING BRAKE On a vehicle with no P (Park) position on the transmission shift selector, always put the selector in N (Neutral) and apply the parking brake (or emergency brake if the vehicle is not equipped with a parking brake) to hold the vehicle when it is unattended. CAUTION: Failure to disconnect the driveline or remove the axle shafts before towing or pushing can cause serious transmission damage. The engine cannot be started by towing or pushing. Before towing or pushing a vehicle, disconnect the driveline or lift the drive wheels off the road. If the vehicle is a motor coach, remove the axle shafts from the drive wheels. When the axle shafts are removed, be sure to cover the wheel openings to prevent loss of lubricant and entry of dust and dirt. An auxiliary air supply will usually be required to actuate the vehicle brake system.

The differential is properly lubed by just turning, and in both cases the transmission will not turn which is the point. > > Don Bradner > 90 PT40 "Blue Thunder" > My location: http://www.bbirdmaps.com/user2.cfm?user=1 > > On 3/3/2009 at 2:48 AM Gardner Yeaw wrote: > > >I had my FC towed twice.
