TOWING MACHINE A SHORT DISTANCE
CAUTION: Cables, straps, or ropes can break causing
serious injury. Do not tow machine with damaged
chains, frayed cables, slings, straps, or wire ropes.
Always wear gloves when handling cable, straps or
wire ropes.
When your machine becomes struck but the engine is still
operational, attach wire ropes to the machine as illustrated
at right, and slowly tow your machine to firm ground using
another machine.
Be sure to attach the wire ropes around the track frames of
both machines as illustrated.
To prevent the wire ropes from being damaged, place some
protective material between the track frame and the wire
ropes.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the shackle holes on the track
frame for towing the machine.
A center shackle hole on the track frame is
provided to pull only lightweight objects.
The shackle holes on the bottom of the track
frame are used to secure the machine for
transportation. Refer to the instructions on
page 5-32 for using the center shackle hole
appropriately.
