Ibis Tek tow bar

Is it safe to use one of the newer (tan) Ibis Tek tow bars to pull a Deuce.


Thanks,
Andy..

Use new tow bar with caution | PS: The Preventive Maintenance Monthly | Find Articles at BNET

based purely on this article i would have to say no

No

No, Black only. The tan units had reported failures so they were redesigned. THe new units are in black.

Anyone know what type of failures..?

From what i have read is that the failure of the older tan tow bar was that individuals failed to lock the arms in the extended position for towing...
operator not product failure...
I would say that the older tan tow bars are safe just as long as you follow installation protocol and speeds...
correct me if I am wrong...
