Hi! I'm new to the forum but I've been researching for a few weeks now We just bought a 93 hi lo that needs some work. We want to bring it to our house to work on it but it looks like the battery is dead so the top is up. Is it possible to tow it about 10 miles (no faster than 50 mph) with the top up?

Nope! Get or borrow a battery or jump it. Towing in the up position can seriously damage the lift system. You can manually lower it if you can find the valve on the front of the pump. You will need someone to pull the safety catch release cable. If everything is operating properly the top should go down with just jumper cables attached. It only needs to activate the down solenoid valve.

Welcome to the Forum!

I recently tested my manual lowering valve. Since I was by myself, I pulled the release cable and used a claw hammer to hold the cable out by putting the claw in the cable loop and laying the hammer on the floor. The weight of the hammer holds the cable out so you can walk to the front and open the manual release valve.

It's better if you have an assistant though!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! When we bought it it was just supposed to stay where it was (RV park on the intercoastal) but since all the tools are home it would be easier to work on it there.

LOL that's pretty ingenious Thank you!!!
