Recovering and transporting the vehicle
The vehicle is equipped with a hydrostatic drive. With this drive concept,
the combustion engine and the subsequent power transmitting drive
hydraulics are always engaged and cannot be separated via idle speed as
is the case with a vehicle with selector gearbox.
Towing over longer distances with a towing vehicle, especially when the
diesel engine is switched off, results in damage to the hydraulic compo-
nents of the hydrostatic drive.
For this reason, towing is not possible and not intended. The damaged
vehicle must be recovered on a transport trailer or on a transport vehicle.
Safety instructions –
Recovering and transporting
the vehicle
Danger
•
Start driving slowly! Make sure that there are no persons in the towing area. There is a
danger to life!
•
The vehicle may be loaded only using suitable loading aids, such as a loading ramp or
drive-up planks. There is a risk of injury!
•
After loading, make sure that the vehicle is secured according to regulations against rolling
off and tilting. There is a risk of injury! Use the wheels for securing the vehicle.
•
If the diesel engine is switched off, power steering does not work – emergency steering
function. Steering will then require more force. There is a risk of accidents!
•
The power brakes do not work when the engine is switched off. The brake pedal has to be
pressed much harder. Take this into account, especially when towing the vehicle. There is a
risk of accidents!
Warning
•
Always recover the damaged vehicle rearwards! There are no suitable fixing points at the
front of the vehicle.
•
The vehicle must only be recovered using suitable equipment (ropes or bars) in conjunction
with suitable fixing points, such as a couplings, hooks and eyes.
•
The vehicle can be recovered using a rope when the service brake and the steering system
are still fully functional.
•
Observe the permissible maximum distances and speeds during recovery!
Danger
•
Remove any mud, snow and ice from the tyres so that the vehicle can be driven safely onto
the ramps. There is a risk of injury!
Warning
•
The transport vehicle must be of adequate size. Refer to the "Technical data" section for the
dimensions and weights of the vehicle.
•
The vehicle may be loaded only using suitable loading ramps or drive-up planks.
•
Secure the vehicle against unintentional movement on the transport vehicle!
