2.3.5 Towing
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 (3-162)".
! 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 tow-
ing machine and the machine being towed.
! Move the machine slowly and be sure not to apply any sud-
den load on the wire rope.
! Connect a wire rope to the part indicated with the arrow in
the diagram at right.
