Towing the machine
WARNING
Misuse hazard!
Towing is a delicate maneuver that is always carried out at the risk of the user. The manufacturer's
warranty does not apply to incidents or accidents that occur during towing. Where possible, carry out
the repairs at the site.
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.
As far as possible try to carry out repairs on spot or consult
your CASE CONSTRUCTION Dealer.
NOTICE: the machine must be towed very slowly, over a
short distance and only if it is really unavoidable. Always
tow the machine in alignment with the undercarriage.
If the machine is bogged down, it must be towed as
follows:
1. Make sure that it can be towed without risk of further
damage.
2. Make sure that the shackles, chains and tackle are in
perfect condition and strong enough to move the load.
3. Attach the shackles, chains and tackle to the under-
carriage taking care to protect any salient angles.
4. Pull the machine without jerking, very slowly and in
alignment with the undercarriage.
