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.
•

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.
• Dependant on local regulations the appropriate machine Service Manual should be
kept in the cab at all times.
Contact the local dealer for specific instructions if neither of these methods are
applicable.
