If towing a machine that has been disabled, use the following instructions for emergency situations

•Use a towing machine with sufficient power, weight, and braking capacity to maintain control of
the disabled machine. The towing machine should be at least as large as the disabled machine.
•If retrieving on a downhill grade, use a second machine on the opposite end of the disabled
machine to prevent the disabled machine from overrunning the towing machine.
•Provide barriers to prevent injury to machine operator if tow device fails. Keep anyone on the
ground at least two times the length of the tow device away.
