9.2 - Vehicle towing
DANGER
The machine towing is a delicate
operation and the risks to the operator are
high. The manufacturer's warranty is not
applicable in case of incidents or accidents
that occur during towing. If possible make
repairs where the machine is located.
It is advisable that the towing operations are
carried out by skilled personnel.
It is absolutely forbidden:
• Ever try to start the machine by pushing or
towing.
• To tow the machine on public roads and for very
long paths, if possible keep the yellow flashing
light and the emergency lights in operation.
• To tow the machine on a slope.
• Stand between the towing machine and towed
machine.
WARNING
With the engine off the steering wheel and brakes
servo controls do not work. If it is not possible to
keep the engine running while towing the vehicle
take into account that the efforts to use the
steering wheel will be much higher than normal.
ATTENTION
The machine towing can be made only in
emergency conditions at a maximum
speed of 4 km/h (2.5 mph) and for short
distances up to 500 m (1640 ft).
To tow the machine over longer distances,
contact
Dieci
service center.
ATTENTION
It is mandatory to tow the machine with a rigid
towing bracket. The towing bracket must be
designed for a tensile stress of 10 tonnes (22040
lb). Attach the towing bracket between towing
vehicle and the vehicle in failure at the points
prearranged for towing.
DANGER
Make sure that the weight of a towed vehicle not
equipped with brakes never exceeds the weight
of the machine that tows the vehicle. The
distance required to stop the vehicle increases
with the increase of the speed and of the load
towed, in particular in the slope sections.
9.2.1 - Vehicle towing with electrical
panel on
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the electrical
panel in operation (for example, transmission failure)
follow the following steps:
Figure: 150567-1
• Turn the vehicle off by turning the ignition key
“0” (fig. 150567-1).
Figure: 150567-2
• Attach the towing bracket between towing
vehicle and the vehicle in failure at the points
prearranged for towing (fig. 150567-2).
• Make sure that the vehicle is in a stable
configuration and lock the wheels with chocks to
prevent accidental movement of the vehicle.
• Remove the lower protective casing by removing
the screws with a wrench size 13.
