PRECAUTIONS FOR TOWING MACHINE

k
Always use the correct towing equipment and towing
method. Any mistake in the selection of the wire rope or
drawbar or the method of towing a failed machine and be-
ing towed may lead to serious personal injury or death.
•
Always confirm that the wire rope or drawbar used for
towing has ample strength for the weight of the ma-
chine being towed.
•
Never use the wire rope which has breaks in strands
(A), reduced diameter (B), or kinks (C). There is a dan-
ger that the rope may break during the towing opera-
tion.
•
Wear the leather gloves always when handling the wire
ropes.
•
Never tow a machine on a slope.
•
During the towing operation, never stand between the
towing machine and the towed machine.
•
Operate the machine slowly and be careful not to ap-
ply any sudden load to the wire rope.
•
When towing the machine, travel at a speed below 1
km/h for a few meters to the appropriate location for
repair to be carried out.
•
Only apply this procedure in emergency situations.
