10.2 Towing the vehicle
ATTENTION
Risk of damage due to incorrect towing
Towing a hydrostatically driven vehicle is possible only to
a limited extent; mostly limited to a few metres. Therefore,
only tow the vehicle out of the hazard zone of the moving
traffic, and make sure you have transport facilities.
Only tow the vehicle at walking speed.
Approach slowly and not jerkily.
Only fasten the vehicle for towing purposes to the towing
eye (front) or trailer coupling (rear).
Preferentially, use a suitable tow bar.
1. In order to tow the vehicle, the hydraulic brake cylinders
must first be released and the two bypass valves
opened.
10.2.1Fitting the towing eye
Note
The towing eye with retaining pin and locking pin can be
found in the driver cabin.
In vehicles without EC type-approval, it is not in the scope
of delivery, but can be ordered as accessories (order num-
ber 2.852-220.0).
