TOWING FAULT MANCHINE
This machine cannot be towed unless in the emergency. Tow-
ing is only used for towing this machine to a place where the
overhaul can be performed, instead of transporting over a long
distance. The towing distance for this machine should not ex-
ceed 10km, and the towing speed should not exceed 10km/h,
otherwise the gearbox will be damaged for short supply of oil. If
you must move this machine, you should use special trailer.
Incorrect towing of inoperable machine may cause the per-
sonal injury or death. Towing the fault vehicle on bad road
surface may cause the fault vehicle to be further damaged
severely.
If the brake system is in fault, the brake shall not be ap-
plied. In this case, you should be quite careful during tow-
ing.
1.
You should use wedges to stop the wheels of the machine
to prevent the machine from moving. If the machine wheel
is not properly stopped by wedges, the machine will move.
The wedges shall be removed after towing begins.
2.
Nobody shall be allowed to sit on the towed machine un-
less the driver can control the direction and brakes.
3.
Ensure, before towing, the towing rope and the tow bar are
in good working conditions and have adequate strength to
pull the machine. The strength of the available towing rope
and tow bar shall be at least 1.5 times of the gross weight
of the towed machine, so as to pull up the machine from
the mud or beneath the slope.
4.
Keep the minimum angle of the supporting rope, and the
angle between the tow rope and the right ahead should not
exceed 30 º
5.
The too quick movement of the machine may cause the
breakage of tow rope or tow bar. It is better to slowly and
stably move the machine.
6.
When towing the machine, all persons shall be far away
from both sides off the rope to prevent the tow rope from
injuring persons due to the breakage.
