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, water logged 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
toolbar. 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
Precautions
• 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.
• 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.
•
For further service and maintenance
information see other sections in this
manual; Maintenance & Service &
Information .
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.
