WARNING
Always use the correct towing equipment and towing
method. Any mistake in the selection of the wire rope or
drawbar or the method of towing a disabled machine and
being towed may lead to serious personal injury or death.
• Always confirm that the wire rope or drawbar used for
towing has ample strength for the weight of the ma-
chine being towed.
• Never use a wire rope which has breaks in strands (A),
reduced diameter (B), or kinks (C). There is a danger
that the rope may break during the towing operation.
• Always wear leather gloves when handling the wire
rope.
• Never tow a machine on a slope.
• During the towing operation, never stand between the
towing machine and the machine being towed.
• Operate the machine slowly and be careful not to ap-
ply any sudden load to the wire rope.
• If there is a failure in the brake system, the brakes will
not work, so be extremely careful.
NOTICE
• Tow the machine only for a short distance, such as to a place for inspection and maintenance.
Do not tow the machine for a long distance.
• For details of the allowable towing capacity for this machine, see “SPECIFICATIONS (5-2)”.
• For details of the procedure for towing a disabled machine, consult your Komatsu distributor.
This machine must not be towed except in emergencies. However, if it is avoidable to tow the machine, take the
following precautions.
• When releasing the brake, secure the machine with chocks. If the wheels are not chocked, the machine
may move suddenly.
• When towing a machine, tow it at a low speed of less than 2 km/h, and for a distance of a few meters to a
place where repairs can be performed.
This method is applied only in emergencies. If the machine must be moved a long distance, use a trans-
porter.
• If it is impossible to operate the steering and brakes of the machine being towed, do not let anyone ride on
the machine.
