Emergency towing
In the event of a fault, carry out the following operations to tow the machine:
-
Hook the machine to the provided holes;
-
Remove the cap located at the centre of the traction reducers on the four wheels;
-
Fit a M6 screw on the visible pivot at the centre of the four traction reducers;
-
Remove the four pivots (one for each wheel) and put the caps on the reducers.
-
Tow at a very slow speed (remember that when the machine is being towed, brakes are out of order).
-
The traction reducers contain lubricating oil. Therefore, by removing the central caps, a quantity of oil leaks out of the
reducers;
-
At the end of towing operation, to resume initial conditions, lift the machine and turn the wheels manually so as to help re-
inserting the central pivot of the traction reducers;
-
Moreover, top up the oil level inside each reducer by following the instructions given in this manual.
Tow at a very slow speed (remember that when the machine is being towed, brakes are out of order).
Tow only on a flat ground.
