TROUBLESHOOTING

METHOD OF TOWING MACHINE

When towing the machine, use a wire rope that has ample
strength for the weight of the machine that is being towed.
If the machine sinks in mud and cannot get out under its own
power, or if the drawbar pull of the excavator is being used to tow
a heavy object, use a wire rope as shown in the diagram.
