Do not use a chain for pulling a disabled
machine. A chain link can break. This may cause
personal injury. Use a wire rope cable with ends
that have loops or rings. Place an observer in a
safe position in order to watch the pulling proce-
dure. The observer can stop the procedure, if
necessary. The procedure should be stopped if
the cable starts to break. Also, stop the proce-
dure if the cable starts to unravel. Stop pulling
whenever the towing machine moves without
moving the towed machine.
