RECOVERY TRANSPORT

Towing the machine

WARNING
Loss of control!
Only tow at safe speeds. Use caution when making corners or meeting traffic.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Hazard to bystanders!
The operator must be the only person on the machine when towing. Make sure that nobody else is on
the machine or within its working range.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE: NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION does not recommend towing the machine.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to start the engine while towing the machine. Damage to the drivetrain components will
occur!
If your machine is disabled, repair the machine at the job site unless you are able to move the machine without further
damage.
The towing machine must have power, steering, and braking ability to stop both machines. Do not tow the machine
in speeds greater than 2.4 km/h (1.5 mph).
Secure the disabled machine to the tow machine as closely as possible.
The disabled machine must only be moved far enough to reach a safe repair location or onto a trailer.
Before you tow a disabled machine, you must be able to answer these questions:
• Does the towing machine have braking and steering capacity for both machines?
• Does the towing hardware, chains, and cables have the proper capacity to move the machine safely?
• Will the disabled machine have steering and braking capability?
• Will moving the machine cause damage to drivetrain or moving parts that lack lubrication?
Additional considerations:
• Be certain that all personnel involved are shielded in the event that towing apparatus might break.
• If the disabled machine has steering and braking capability an operator may be on the machine to help control the
towing of the disabled machine.
• Always block the wheels of the disabled machines before releasing the brakes or drivetrain component.
