TROUBLESHOOTING
TOWING
WARNING
When towing, serious injury or death
could result, if performed incorrectly or
the wire rope being used is inappropriate
or not properly inspected.
• It becomes dangerous if the wire rope
breaks or becomes disengaged. Use a
wire rope appropriate for the required
tractive force.
• Do not use a wire rope that is kinked,
twisted or otherwise damaged.
• Do not apply heavy loads abruptly to
the wire rope.
• Wear safety gloves when handling the
wire rope.
• Make sure there is an operator on the
machine being towed as well as on the
machine that is towing.
• Never tow on slopes.
• Do not let anyone come near to the wire
rope while towing.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a machine if its
engine does not start or if the machine
does not run. Doing so could damage the
machine being towed.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow the steps
below closely when towing. Failure to
heed even one of the steps may cause
damage to the hooks (1).

1. Attach the wire rope (2) to the hooks (1) as
