5. In the course of towing operation, all persons shall keep away from the towing rope,
so as to avoid the personal injury caused by the broken towing rope.
6. Under normal conditions, the towing tractor shall be of the same size as the loader to
be towed. It shall be ensured that the towing tractor has enough braking ability, weight
and power to control two loaders.
7. When going down along a slope, in order to ensure that the loader towed can be
properly controlled and braked, a towing tractor or another loader of larger size shall
be connected to the rear end of the loader towed, so as to prevent it from being out of
control and overturning.
8. If the direction of the loader towed is controlled by the driver, the driver shall turn along
the direction of the towing rope.
NOTE: Before releasing the brake, be sure to block up the wheels of the loader with
chock, so as to prevent the loader from moving. If the loader is not properly
blocked up, it may slide. Take away those chocks before the towing operation will
commence.
1) To tow the loader with the engine running
1. If the power train and the steering system may work normally, the loader may be
towed for a short distance with the engine running, so as to draw the loader out from
muddy road or to the side of road.
2. If the service brake system and the parking brake system work normally, just press
down the parking brake button and release the parking brake before the towing
operation.
3. The driver of the loader towed shall turn the steering wheel correspondent to the
travelling direction.
2) To tow the loader with the engine switched off
If the engine fails, please tow the loader in accordance with the following method.
If the service brake system and parking brake system are properly sealed with no
leakage, the air in the air reservoir may be used to release parking brake. In this case,
put down the parking brake handle to release the parking brake; the air in air reservoir
can only be used for 6~7 times, please use it cautiously. If the parking brake system
leaks, the air pressure in the air reservoir is not high enough to release the parking
brake, please dismantle the front/rear propeller shafts and get the loader towed.
