6.1 Towing the vehicle
WARNING
Accident hazard due to incorrect towing!
Incorrect towing can cause accidents and serious injury or death.
► Tow the machine away only from the immediate danger zone until it
can be loaded.
► Never tow downhill.
► Only tow the vehicle using suitable towing equipment in connection
with suitable towing facilities, such as towing hooks, eyes, etc.
► There must be nobody between the vehicles during towing. The lateral
safety distance is equal to 1.5 times the length of the towing
equipment.
► Do not tow the vehicle if it is stuck or on a slope. Load the vehicle.
► The machine cannot be steered when the hydraulic oil reservoir is
empty.
► Allow the traveling drive to cool down.
► Wear protective equipment.
► Start vehicle travel and tow away slowly.
WARNING
Burn hazard due to hot surfaces!
Higher towing speeds and longer towing distances cause significant heat
to develop. This can cause serious injury or death.
► Only tow the machine out of the immediate danger zone until it can be
loaded. Do not tow the machine farther than 20 meters (66 ft).
► Tow the machine as slowly as possible – under no circumstances
faster than walking speed.
► Wear protective equipment.
