3.26 Towing the machine
An inoperable machine can be towed by another vehicle for short
distances.
For distances longer than 500 m, the machine must be loaded for further
transport.
WARNING
Spring-operated brake out of function!
Severe injury or death due to machine rolling away.
■
Prevent the machine from rolling away with chocks before
releasing the spring-operated brake.
■
Do not attach the machine for towing unless at the points intended
for this.
■
Use a towing vehicle with enough pulling power.
■
Tow machine only with low speed 1 km/h (0.6 mph).
■
Only tow the machine for short distances (max. 500 m).
NOTE
Towing of the machine requires sufficient knowledge of the
functioning of the hydrostatic transmission and the operation of
the spring-operated brake.
Only allow towing to be performed by persons with towing
experience, who have been informed of the dangers.
Necessary towing tool
■
Towing bar
Use a towing bar with adequate pulling power (at least the operating
weight of the machine) for a normal case of use on a flat surface with
the spring-operated brake released.
NOTE
To recover the machine from hazardous situations, the
machine can be lifted (see Loading and transporting).
Alternatively, the machine can be pulled out of hazardous
situations using towing ropes or towing chains (pulling power at
least double the machine's operating weight).
