Semi-related question here:

What does the "Tow Mode" feature do? Does it release the brakes, or is it an option *to* tow a lift? I've tried turning it on and had no results trying to tow with a chain.

Can you pick the lift up and set it on the outriggers, chaining it in place? Would it damage the wheels or would the wheels cause damage to the lift? I noticed there are what seem to be chain slots in the battery compartment of an RMD, but they are only accessible when the battery is removed.

Still looking for ideas here, folks. I don't know how to release the brake manually, and I'm more looking for a quick fix that doesn't involve special tools. I am looking for a solution that, at most, requires lifting the down equipment just enough for the drive wheel to clear the floor, chaining it to the lift that will be towing it, and moving it to a more maintenance-friendly position

I'm not in our maintenance department, but every time a forklift goes out of service and they can't transport it back onto the dock, they call on me to tow it out of the freezer. The only method I know of is very unsafe for turning corners (Causes fork jump that could bend forks or cause other issues), as previously mentioned.

Could someone walk me through the "proper" method of towing an RMD and/or RR? Thank you all.

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
