6.1 Recovery
Towing of the wheel loader must be restricted to
clearing a junction or a road, to prevent damage to the
hydrostatic travel drive.
If possible, let the diesel engine run at low idle during
towing.
Machine damage

• Tow the machine at walking speed.
Towing lugs
• Front: right and left on the axle plates.
• Rear: bottom right and left on the side plates of the
rear end.
Attention
Max. load suspension of towing lugs approx.
9200 kg.
• Whenever the wheel loader has to be towed, for
whatever reason, the "Travel" oil circuit must be
opened so that the hydrostatic transmission no
longer acts as an auxiliary brake.
• At the two high-pressure relief valves (29/1) with
bypass, loosen the screw (30/1) by no more than
3 turns.
• After towing, screw back in screw (30/1) until the
stop.
Machine damage
due to hydraulic system contamination.
• Absolute cleanliness is essential when
working on the hydraulic system.

• Always secure the machine with chocks
and relieve the hydraulic system of
pressure before carrying out maintenance
and repair work.
