SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
TOWING
WHEN TOWING
Serious injury or death could result if there is any mistake in the selection of wire rope or method of towing a disabled
machine.
For towing, see "METHOD OF TOWING MACHINE (PAGE 3-142)".
Always be sure to check carefully that the capacity of the wire rope used for towing is ample for the weight of the
towed machine.
Never use a wire rope which has cut strands (A), reduced
diameter (B), or kinks (C). There is danger that the rope may
break during the towing operation.
Always wear leather gloves when handling wire rope.
Never tow a machine on a slope.
During the towing operation, never stand between the towing
machine and the machine being towed.
Move the machine slowly and be sure not to apply any sudden
load on the wire rope.
If the engine stops or the oil pressure in the brake circuit lowers because of a trouble in the hydraulic system, the
brake works and the machine cannot move. To move the machine in this case, the oil pressure in the brake circuit
must be heightened to the specified level with a special device. Ask your Komatsu distributor.
