Transporting
the dumper
(fi g. 1)
Towing the dumper (fig. 1)
Towing dumpers is only recommended in cases of breakdown when there is no
alternative. Whenever possible, we recommend repairing the vehicle without moving it.
Otherwise, the towing must only be done slowly and over short distances.
In order to avoid cavitation and possible transmission seizure during towing, it is
imperative that the transmission universal drive shaft goes into the gearbox and the
gearbox is disconnected. Failure to take this precaution may cause severe damage to
the transmission.
Remove the parking brake.
Drive slowly and carefully without exceeding 10 km/h (6 Mph), complying with the
country regulations relating to the towing of an off-road vehicle on roads and highways.
The dumper must be towed using a solid towbar to avoid any sideways oscillation, and
always with the chassis fixed rigid with the joint beam included (See fig.1 previous page).
WARNING
If you tow the dumper, you must disconnect the upper transmission universal
drive shaft (fig. 1) in order to avoid oil cavitation, which may cause severe
damage to the gearbox.
WARNING
Do not tow this dumper behind a car or other vehicle.
