SAFETY RULES FOR TOWING

Serious injury or death could result if a disabled machine is towed incorrectly or if there is a mistake in the selec-
tion or inspection of the wire rope.
When towing, always use the method given in TOWING THE MACHINE (PAGE 3-78) in the OPERATION section.
Always wear leather gloves when handling wire rope.
Fix the wire rope to the track frame.
During the towing operation, never stand between the tow-
ing machine and the machine being towed.
Never tow a machine on a slope.
Never use a wire rope which has cut strands (A), reduced
diameter (B), or kinks (C). There is danger that the rope
may break during the towing operation.
