NOTE

The transporter brakes are of the surge type. That is, when the transporter pushes against the tow

vehicle, the actuator of the braking system telescopes together and applies a force to the master

cylinder supplying hydraulic pressure to the brakes.

CAUTION

When the tow vehicle attempts to back up with the transporter attacked, braking action occurs.

Therefore, backing up will damage the transporter. TRANPORTER SHALL NOT BE BACKED UP.
