braking and turning is possible.
z
If the towed machine engine can not start, disassemble the front and rear transmission axle.
If the machine can not turn, disassemble the steering cylinder.
z
The connection hole of the rear frame at the inner side of the rear wheel can only be used for
lifting and binding, but not for towing.
z
If there is no braking system for the towed machine, never use soft towing but use fixed
towing or use towing bar. Connect the towing bar to the towing pin at the back of the loader.
z
If there is no braking system on the towed machine, no one is allowed to stay on it.
z
Check whether the towing rope and towing pin are strong enough to suffer the weight of the
towed machine. If machine will pass over clay ground or go up a slope, two towing ropes
and towing pins should suffer at least 1.5 times the weight of the towed machine.
z
Try to decrease the towing angle of the towing rope to ensure that the angle between the
towing rope and the towed machine is within 30°. The height of the towing points of the two
machines should be close.
z
The connection between the towing equipment and the machine should be strong.
z
The weight of the towing machine should be heavier than the towed one, and have enough
traction power and braking power to be able to pull or brake two vehicles going up and
down a slope.
z
When towing the machine down a slope, the machine should have sufficient traction power
and braking power. Another towing machine should be used to pull at the back side to
prevent the towed machine from losing control or turning over.
z
Start to tow and brake gently, at the low speed, and turn on the warning flash lamp.
z
The speed for towing the loader should be within 10 km/h. Try to tow the machine to the
nearest repairing garage. If the distance is longer than 10 km or the towing speed faster than
10 km/h, the front and rear transmission axle must be disassembled or put the loader on
towing truck for transportation.
