• If the machine sinks in mud and cannot get out under its
own power, or if the machine tows a heavy object, use a
wire rope as shown in the figure on the right.
• Place pieces of wood between the wire ropes and the ma-
chine to prevent damage to the ropes and the machine.
• Hold the wire rope level and set it straight to the track
frame.
• When towing a machine, travel at a speed of 1 km/h or
lower for a distance of only a few metres to a place that is
suitable for performing repairs.
Perform this only in an emergency.
