10.2 Towing the vehicle

ATTENTION
Risk of damage due to incorrect towing
Towing a hydrostatically driven vehicle is possible only to a limit-
ed 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.
10.2.1 Fitting 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 de-
livery, but can be ordered as accessories (order number 2.852-
220.0).
