Retrieving and towing
Towing
V1177083
In case the machine needs to be retrieved, either
for safety reasons, or under certain operational
conditions, the machine can be towed by using the
towing eye located on the lower frame. Before
towing ensure that the towing linkage is properly
connected, adequate for the purposes.
NOTE!
Use a steel chain of suitable strength to tow the
machine. The machine should be towed at low
speed and keep the towing distance as short as
possible (the crawler tracks do not move).
The angle for pulling should not exceed 20° from
the horizontal line of tow lope and longitudinal axis
of the machine. Be careful there should not be also
interference with parts of the machine.
