Towing guidelines
DANGER
Increased risk of accident if used under difficult op-
erating conditions!
When towing trailers under difficult operating condi-
tions, e.g. on gradients or icy or slippery surfaces,
the maximum safe load is determined by the braking
performance and not the maximum pulling force of
the tow tractor.
Rules
–
Do not use this industrial truck for pulling
rail vehicles.
–
Always operate the industrial truck in a
manner that ensures that safe driving and
deceleration of the trailer are guaranteed
when performing any manoeuvre.
–
Always couple the trailers firmly with the
tow coupling.
–
Check the nominal pulling force and nomi-
nal weight before transporting loads. Refer
to the identification plate. Never exceed the
nominal capacity of the tow tractor. The
maximum payload of the tiller corresponds
to the maximum pulling force that the tow
tractor can exert in order to overcome the
starting resistance of the load being towed.
The starting resistance is comprised of the
combined total weight of the tow tractor,
trailer and load.
