WARNING
Always use the correct towing equipment and towing
method. Any mistake in the selection of the wire rope or
drawbar or the method of towing a disabled machine and
being towed may lead to serious personal injury or death.
• Always confirm that the wire rope or drawbar used for
towing has ample strength for the weight of the ma-
chine being towed.
• A wire rope having cut strands (A), reduced diameter
(B), or kinks (C) may break. Never use it.
• Always wear leather gloves when handling the wire
rope.
• Never tow a machine on a slope.
• During the towing operation, never stand between the
towing machine and the towed machine.
• Move the machine slowly and be careful not to apply
any sudden load to the wire rope.
• Do not use the holes for towing light objects or tie-
down holes when towing the machine.
NOTICE
The maximum towing capacity for this machine is 16800 N {17100 kg} .
Do not tow any load greater than this.
• If the machine sinks in mud and cannot get out under its
own power, or if the machine tows a heavy object, use a
wire rope as shown in the figure.
• Place pieces of wood between the wire ropes and the ma-
chine to prevent damage to the ropes and the machine.
• Hold the wire rope level and set it straight to the track
frame.
• When towing a machine, travel at a speed of less than
1 km/h for a distance of only a few meters to a place that is
suitable for performing repairs.
Perform this only in an emergency.
