Towing The Access Platform - Kesla XS 190 Operation & Maintenance Manual

TOWING THE ACCESS PLATFORM

The Access Platform must be towed, if it gets stuck while being transferred.
1. Tow the Access Platform by the towing eye located at the front or rear of the
Access Platform.
2. Keep the engine running and maintain traction to the desired travelling direction to
avoid locking of the brakes. Steer the Access Platform on hard ground so that the pull rope
can be released. When towing on hard ground, engage the high speed range. Do not
exceed towing speed of 3.6km/h.
3. If needed, the brakes can be released as follows: disconnect the hydraulic hoses of
the brake cylinder. Then replace the nipple by screwing in an R 1/4"-75 full-threaded bolt in
the hole of the hydraulic coupling. Squeeze loose the brake pads from the brake disk for
instance for towing. Refer to the illustration on page 44.
4. Note! After the brakes have released, the brakes can be cautiously used using the
drive valve lever. For parking, fasten the Access Platform to a solid object to prevent it
from drifting uncontrollably.
