2.8.1 Towing the machine
The machine is not fitted with any system that would manually
release the parking brake. If the pressure in the brake system is
too low, the rear wheels will remain blocked.
We recommend towing the machine only for short distances or
to avoid towing completely, if possible.
• Depending on the possibilities, have the machine repaired
or maintenance performed on location.
• If possible, use a crane to lift the machine and transport it for
maintenance and repairs.
Procedure to tow the machine:
• The towing movement when towing the machine must be
smooth. Do not exceed the towing speed by more than 1
km/hour (0.6 mph).
• The towed machine must be attached to the towing lug (1).
• Make sure there are no persons in the dangerous area of the
machine.
• Move away from the danger zone of the machine.
• Have the machine towed in compliance with the instructions
of the machine owner.
Risk of injury when towing the machine.
For towing, use undamaged tow ropes or tow bars of a suf-
ficient capacity 1.5 × higher than the weight of the towed
vehicle. Do not use a chain for the towing.
Ensure that there are no persons in the dangerous area
when the machine is towed.
Move away from the danger zone of the machine. The safe
distance is at least 5 metres.
The machine may only be towed attached to the towing lug
(1), by means of a tow bar (2) or tow rope (2).
No persons are allowed on the machine when the machine
is towed!
There is a risk of damage to the machine when the machine
is towed.
The rear wheels are blocked and will skid over the surface.
The front wheel can turn, but cannot be controlled.
Tow the machine very slowly and smoothly.
Tow the machine only using vehicles with a sufficient tow
force considering the weight of the towed machine.
