WARNING: Failure to follow
these safety precautions may
lead to a serious accident.
7.5 TOWING
WHEN TOWING
• Injury or death could result if a disabled machine is towed incorrectly or if there is a mistake in the selection
of the wire rope, so always do as follows.
• Do not tow in a different way from the method given in the section "16.2 METHOD OF TOWING MACHINE".
• Always wear leather gloves when handling wire rope.
• When carrying out the preparation for towing with another worker, agree on signals before starting the
operation.
• If the engine on the problem machine will not start of there is a failure in the brake system, please contact
your Komatsu distributor for repairs.
• It is dangerous to tow a machine on a slope, so choose a place where there is a gradual slope. If there is no
place with a gradual slope, carry out work to make the slope as small as possible.
• If a problem machine is towed by another machine, ALWAYS use a wire rope with a sufficient towing capac-
ity for the weight of the problem machine.
• Do not uwe a wire rope which has cut strands 훽, kinks 훾, or reduced diameter 훿.
