EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

TOWING OR WINCHING

Perform the following action only when the machine will not operate under its own power and it is
necessary to move the machine or when winching onto a transport vehicle (Refer to "Transporting
the work platform" on page 2-18).

BRAKE RELEASE PUMP

Perform the following only when the machine will not operate under its own power and it is neces-
sary to move the machine or when towing the machine up a grade or onto a trailer to transport.
1. Open the needle valve by turning the screw anti-clockwise. This allows the wheels to freewheel.
2. Pump the brake release pump until the parking brake is released.
3. The machine will be able to roll when pushed or pulled.
4. Be sure to close the needle valve and screw in the PC3 valve with an allen key after undoing the
locknut. This will release the brake pressure. Once the brakes have been re-applied, return PC3
valve to its original configuration by fully unscrewing. Finally tighten the locknut.
