WHEN TOWING
Serious injury or death could result if a disabled machine is towed incorrectly or if there is a mistake in the selection
or inspection of the wire rope.
For towing, see "TOWING THE MACHINE (PAGE 3-120)".
Always wear leather gloves when handling wire rope.
During the towing operation, never stand between the towing
machine and the machine being towed.
Never tow a machine on a slope.
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.
