Max. towing speed 1 km/h (1.6 mph), max. towing
distance 500 m (1640 ft.).
Before releasing the multi-disc brakes secure the
machine properly against unintended rolling.
Checking the Roll Over Protection
Structure (ROPS)
i Note
On machines with cabin the ROPS is an integral
part of the cabin.
The machine frame must not be distorted, bent or
cracked in the area of the ROPS fastening points.
The ROPS must not show any signs of corrosion,
damage, hairline cracks or open fractures.
The ROPS must not rattle about during driving.
This would mean that it is not properly fastened.
All bolted connections must be in accordance with
the prescribed specifications and correctly tight-
ened (observe the tightening torque values).
Screws and nuts must not be damaged, bent or
deformed.
With the cabin installed check also the condition of
the cabin mounts (rubber elements and screws).
Neither must any additional parts be welded or
bolted on, nor must any holes be drilled without the
permission of the manufacturer, since this may im-
pair the strength of the structure.
Starting the machine

sitting in the operator's seat.
Use only machines which have been properly
serviced at regular intervals.
Become acquainted with the equipment, the con-
trol elements, the working mode of the machine
