3.14 TOWING
The machine is equipped with a ring, located at the front bottom of the undercar-
riage ; if you need to tow the machine, to take care of emptying the body.
When towing the machine check that the metal cables, the slings and the towing
mechanisms to be used are resistant enough and that they are not cracked or
broken. 20.000N (2.000kg approx.)
When the machine gets stuck in the mud and cannot get out on its own, or when
it is towing a heavy object, attach the sling as shown opposite.
• When towing a machine with another machine, use a metal cable that is power-
ful enough for the machine's weight.
• Never tow the machine on a slope.
• Never use a deformed or damaged towing cable.
• Do not roll over the towing cable or the metal cable.
• When you hook on an object to be towed, make sure that there is none be-
tween the machine and the object.
WARNING: Always tow a machine that has broken down in complete safety
by using the suitable tools.
An unsuitable procedure may cause serious physical injuries.
IMPORTANT: Check that the metal cables, the slings and the towing mecha-
nisms to be used are resistant enough and that they are not cracked or bro-
ken.
