• The operator should get on the machine being towed and operate the steering in the direction that the ma-
chine is towed.
• Always run the engine to allow the steering and brakes to be used.
When engine does not run
• The brakes will not work, so be extremely careful.
• Connect the towing machine securely to the machine being towed.
Use 2 towing machines of the same class or larger than the machine being towed: connect one machine
each to the front and rear of the machine being towed.
• If it is necessary to change the direction of the machine being towed, it is possible to use the secondary
steering, but it can be used for a maximum of only 90 seconds.
• If the secondary steering cannot be used, disconnect 2 hydraulic hoses each on the left and right from the
steering cylinders, then perform the towing operation.
When removing the hoses, block the hoses with plugs and fit oil containers to the mouthpiece of the cylin-
der to prevent oil from draining to the ground.
