TROUBLESHOOTING

TOWING THE MACHINE

When towing the machine, use a wire rope that has ample strength for the weight of the machine that
is being towed.
Do not apply a sudden load to the wire rope.
If the machine sinks in mud and cannot get out under its own
power, or if the drawbar pull of the excavator is being used to
tow a heavy object, use a wire rope as shown in the diagram
on the right.
Place pieces of wood between wire ropes and body to prevent
damage to ropes and body.
At this time, never use the hook for light-weight towing.

PRECAUTIONS ON PARTICULAR JOBSITES

equipment mounting pins, add grease to bucket links (A),
