2.22 Recovery and towing
As the gearbox is not lubricated during towing, the towing
speed must not exceed 5 km/h and the towing distance
must not exceed 10 km.

If the machine is unable to move by its own power or
winch, then it must be salvaged.
Attach the wire or the rope to the appropriate towing eye
and pull carefully.
DANGER
All towing or winching with cables entails danger to life. If
the wire breaks or the hook slips while you winch, it will
result in a whiplash effect. The cable may lash at an
angle or backwards along its entire length!
Risk distance 100 m.
WARNING
There is a large risk of personal injury if substandard
towing equipment or incorrect methods are used during
recovery/towing. Therefore, always ensure you use
towing equipment that can cope with the forces that
arise and plan the recovery/towing thoroughly before
commencing.
WARNING
If the machine has tipped over onto one side, you should
immediately let a Gremo-authorised workshop check the
operator’s cab. The cab is your best protection, but the
protective effect is decreased by a distorted cab.
NOTICE
Don’t attach the pulling cable/rope to the operator’s cab
if the machine has capsized! The cab might become
distorted!
If the machine has capsized, pull it up using wires/straps
attached to the anti-skid chains, bogie cases or bunks.
NOTICE
If the engine has been submerged in water, an
authorised service dealer or the Gremo AB service
department must be contacted before the engine is
started.
