When towing a machine:
1 .
Connect the towline to both tie down/
retrieval points at the front or the rear
of the machine . Use of only a single
retrieval point or connecting the towline
to any point on the machine other than the
designated retrieval locations could result
in machine damage .
2 .
The towline strength is at least 1 .5 times
the gross weight of the machine . The
towline length is such that the maximum
towing angle does not exceed 20° .
Loading and Transporting the
Machine on a Transport Vehicle
Do not exceed the transport vehicle’s
gross weight rating and the gross axle
weight rating when loading and trans-
porting the machine. The transport
vehicle must have sufficient capacity
for the size and weight of the machine.
Refer to “Specifications” on page 37.
Make sure the load does not fall
short of the minimum axle load of the
steering axle, otherwise the transport
vehicle’s steering could be seriously
affected.
Remove any mud, snow or ice from
the tracks on the machine to prevent
slipping.
Position the machine at the lowest
possible position on the transport
platform, with the center of gravity of
the load over center line of the trans-
port vehicle. Distribute partial loads to
ensure an even load on the axles on
the transport vehicle.
Secure the machine properly so it
cannot slip, slide, roll, tip over or fall, or
cause the transport vehicle to tip over
under transport conditions. Use anti-
slip bases and linings, load-securing
straps and chains, clamping beams,
protective pads, nets, edge protectors,
etc. as needed to properly secure the
load. Consider all possible transport
conditions such as: heavy braking,
evasive maneuvers, and uneven or
rough roadways.
Adjust transport speed to the load, to
the road/traffic conditions and to the
handling of the transport vehicle
Always use the proper tie-down points
when using straps and chains.
