6.2. EMERGENCY TOWING
In case of engine failure or machine malfunction, it is possible, after releasing the brakes, to tow
the machine.
This operation is reserved for emergencies only, when it is imperative to move the machine.
The platform must be brought to the down position and nobody should be on board.
1- Chock the machine's wheels.
2- Remove the rear axle covers.
3- Unscrew the brake release clamps.
4- Using a screwdriver, remove the cover
at the rear of the hydraulic motor.
5- Install the flange and tighten up to the
maximum the screw on the brake piston
then tighten the lock nut to draw the
piston and release the brake. Perform
this operation on each hydraulic motor
on the rear axle.
6- On the transmission pump, unscrew the
by-pass valve by 2 turns maximum. (Do
not unscrew by over 2 turns to avoid any
external leaks).
7- Using appropriate equipment, tow the
machine at slow speed on level ground
only.
8- Once the towing has been performed,
block the machine's wheels, remove the
flanges to restore the brakes and tighten
the by-pass valve.
AFTER REPAIRING THE MACHINE, IT
IS IMPERATIVE TO RE-INSTALL THE
NEW COVERS ON THE MOTORS AND
PUT THE REAR AXLE HOUSINGS BACK
IN PLACE.
