DANGER
People can be crushed between the truck and
towing vehicle during manoeuvring. There is a risk
of fatal injury!
The towing vehicle may only be manoeuvred and
the tow ropes may only be attached using a second
person as a guide. This ensures that the driver of
the towing vehicle and the mechanic attaching the
tow ropes are aware of possible risks.
– Only manoeuvre with a guide.
If the truck’s steering still functions and the
brake is released, the truck can be towed with
ropes.
– Select a towing speed that allows the
truck and towing vehicle to be braked and
controlled effectively at all times.
CAUTION
If the truck is not steered while it is being towed, it
may veer out in an uncontrolled manner!
– The truck being towed must also be steered by a
driver.
– Release the parking brake.
– Tow the truck.
– After towing, secure the truck against rolling
away (e.g. by activating the parking brake
or using wheel chocks).
– Do not remove the tow ropes.
Lifting points for towing
Load-side lifting points
– Wind around lift mast (1).
Drive-side lifting points
– Wind around the two drive-side support
posts of the overhead guard (2). On the
left-hand side, guide the tow rope through
the handhold on the support post.
Towing with non-operational steering
If the steering has failed, the truck can be
towed using equipment such as steerable
heavy-duty rollers. Depending on the design,
