16.2 TOWING THE MACHINE
WARNING
‡ If the machine that has broken down is towed in the wrong
way, it may lead to serious injury or damage.
‡ If there is a failure in the brake line, the brakes cannot be
used, so be extremely careful when towing.
NOTICE
‡ Towing is for moving the machine to a place where inspection
and maintenance can be carried out, and not for moving it long
distances.
The machine must not be towed for long distances.
‡ For details of the procedure for towing a machine when it has
broken down, please contact your Komatsu distributor.
This machine must not be towed except in emergencies. When
towing the machine, take the following precautions.
‡ When releasing the brakes, put blocks under the wheels to
prevent the machine from moving. If the wheels are not blocked,
the machine may suddenly move.
‡ When towing a machine, tow it at a low speed of less than 2 km/
h (1.24 MPH), and for a distance of a few meters to a place where
repairs can be carried out. The machine should be towed only
in emergencies.
If the machine must be moved long distances, use a transporter.
‡ Fit a guard plate to the machine being towed to protect the
operator if the tow rope or bar should break.
‡ If the steering and brake of the machine being towed cannot be
operated, do not let anyone sit on the machine.
‡ Check that the tow rope or bar is of ample strength for the weight
of the machine being towed. If the machine being towed must
travel through mud or up hills, use a tow rope or bar of a
strength of at least 1.5 times the weight of the machine being
towed.
