Extracting Stuck Machine Safety & Guidelines
Follow proper hooking and towing recommendations below for extracting stuck machines. If damage is
incurred to a machine during extraction due to improper procedure, any applicable warranties may be
void!
• Avoid wet, waterlogged, and muddy ground conditions so as not to get stuck.
• Assess the situation around the stuck machine before attempting extraction.
•
Know when to call a professional for assistance in towing, lifting and extraction.
•
Use properly rated equipment – larger tractor/truck, tow ropes/straps, clevises, chains, cables,
etc.
•
Practice proper hooking and pulling techniques. Know where proper hooking points are at on a
machine so as not to damage the machine.
Do not hook or pull the machine from the transport axle or rear packer
system. Attach to a tie down location or the main frame. Do not pull the
machine sideways. Pull in a straight line as much as possible.
•
Pull force should not exceed normal operating conditions.
• Be aware of overhead power lines to avoid risk of serious damage and/or personal injury.
•
Be aware of ditches or rocks to avoid tipping hazards of equipment.
• All bystanders are at risk of serious injury and must stand clear of extraction area for their own
personal safety.
• Inspect machinery after recovery. Make any necessary repairs before putting the machine back
into service.
Service and Maintenance
•
Ensure that regular tests and inspections are always carried out to schedule,
as specified in the operating instructions.
•
Prior to performing maintenance and servicing work, ensure that the machine
is positioned on firm, level ground and that it is properly secured against rolling
away.
•
De-pressurize the hydraulic system and lower or support the implement.
•
After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for leaks and loose connections.
•
Check hoses for chafing and signs of other damage. Remedy any faults immediately!
•
Prior to working on the electrical system, disconnect it from the electric power supply.
• Retighten screwed connections which had been loosened during servicing and maintenance
work.
Do not wash new machines with a steam-jet or high-
pressure cleaner. The paint takes approximately 3 months
to cure and could thus be damaged if this time has not yet
expired.
