Towing - IHI IC75-2 Operation Manual

TOWING

• Use wire ropes and shackles for towing that are
strong enough for the towing weight.
It is very dangerous if the wire rope is
•
disentangled during towing. Do not stand
between the towing machine and the towed
machine.
Towing the carrier
When the carrier gets stuck for instance in mud and
cannot escape under its own power it must be towed by
another machine. In such cases attach a shackle to a
wire rope and attach this to the front or rear hook. The
carrier can now be towed.
1. Start the engine.
2. Select the low speed mode with the travel speed select
switch.
3. Set the parking brake to the OFF position.
4. Move the joystick lever in the travel direction slowly
when towing starts.
When the engine is broken and will not start, the
parking brake will not release. The parking brake
will prevent the crawler shoe from rotating so the
carrier cannot be towed.
