Towing of loader in trouble
Except in emergency circumstances, the loader cannot be towed. In case towing
operation is carried out, the distance must be short and necessary for moving the loader
to a place where inspection and repair can be carried out. In the course of the towing
operation, the speed may not exceed 2km/h; otherwise the gearbox may get damaged
owing to insufficient supply of oil. If long-distance movement is required, please use
special towing tractor.
WARNING: Incorrectly towing a loader may cause personal injury or death.
If the loader in trouble is towed on a bad road, it will further damaged.
If the brake system fails, the brake is out of use, and special attention shall be paid in the
course of towing operation.
Precautions for towing operation:
1. Unless the driver may control the direction and/or brake of the loader, no person may
stay on the loader which is being towed.
2. Before the towing operation, make sure that the towing rope or towing rod is in good
conditions and has the enough strength to tow the loader. The strength of the towing
rope or towing rod used shall be at least 1.5 times the gross weight of the loader to be
towed, so as to ensure that the loader can be pulled up from mud or along a slope.
3. The angle of the towing rope shall be minimized, and the included angle between the
towing rope and travelling direction may not exceed 30°.
4. Too quick movement of the loader may get the towing rope or towing rod broken.
Better effect may be obtained if the loader moves slowly and smoothly.
