SECTION 6—EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
6.1 TOWING A DISABLED PRODUCT
The following information assumes telehandler cannot be moved under its own power.
• Before moving the telehandler, read all of the following information to understand
options available. Then select the appropriate method.
• Machine mounted retrieval devices provide suitable means to attach a tow rope, chain
or tow bar only in the event the telehandler becomes stuck or disabled.
• Retrieval devices are not intended for on-road trailer towing applications.
• The steering system permits manual steering if engine or power assist feature fails;
however, steering will be slow and will require much greater force.
• DO NOT attempt to tow a telehandler that is loaded or the boom/attachment is raised
above 4 ft (1,2 m).
Moving Short Distances
• If it is only necessary to move telehandler a short distance, less than 30 m (100 ft),
it is permissible to use a vehicle of sufficient capacity to tow the unit with no
previous preparation.
Moving Longer Distance
• See Service Manual for information.
Contact the local dealer for specific instructions if neither of these methods are
applicable.
