HOW TO TOW THE MACHINE
TOWING THE MACHINE
Improper towing may cause severe injury. Pay attention when towing the machine.
Confirm that the wire rope for towing has sufficient strength resistant to the mass of the machine to
be towed.
Never use a kinked, twisted, or damaged wire rope, which may result in break.
Never tow the machine on a slope.
Never climb onto the towing wire rope.
Never stand between the towing machine and the machine (or thing) being towed during the towing
operation.
Be careful not to apply a load suddenly to the wire rope.
Shackles must be used for towing.
Keep the wire rope horizontally and straight to the track frame.
Tow the machine slowly in the LOW speed mode.
Pad the corners of the track frame to avoid damaging the wire rope and track frame.
