NOTICE:
Towing the machine is not recommended.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to start the engine while towing the machine. The drive train components will be damaged!
If your machine is disabled, you must make a judgment if the machine can be moved without damage. If possible,
repair the machine at the job site.
The towing machine must have power, steering, and braking ability to stop both machines. The speed at which the
disabled machine is moved must not exceed
2.4 km/h
(
1.5 mph
).
The machines must be attached as closely as possible.
The disabled machine must be moved only far enough to reach a safe repair location or onto a trailer.
Before moving a disabled machine you must be able to answer these questions:
• Does the towing machine have braking and steering capacity for both machines?
• Does the towing hardware, chains, cables, have the proper capacity to move the machine safely?
• Will the disabled machine have steering and braking capability?
• Will moving the machine cause damage to drivetrain or moving parts that lack lubrication?
Additional considerations:
• Be certain that all personnel involved are shielded in the event that the towing apparatus might break.
• An operator may only be allowed on the towed vehicle if it has steering and braking capability.
• Always block the disabled machines wheels before releasing the brakes or drive train component.
