TOWING
Matters needing attention on towing
If fault occurs during the selection or inspection of the traction
string or during performance of traction, it will cause serious in-
jury. Please obey the following items:
•
Use the methods introduced in Operation and Maintenance
Manual.
•
Please wear the leather gloves for disposing string and
ropes.
•
When there are two or more persons to do the preparation,
unify the signals and use them correctly.
•
If there is fault in the machine or in the brake system, or the
engine could not be started, please contact with the agent.
•
When performing the traction operation, do not walk
between the tractor and the towed machine.
•
It is dangerous to perform the traction on slope, therefore,
you should select a gentle slope. If there is no gentle slope,
please reduce the slope angle before performing traction
operation.
•
Please use the string and ropes with enough traction force
to tow the fault machine.
•
Do not use the worn, kinked rope or the rope with too small
cross-section.
