TOWING
Precautions When Towing
If any mistake is made in the method of selecting or
inspecting the towing wire or in the method of towing, it may
lead to serious personal injury. Always do the following:
• Always use the method of towing given in this
Operation and Maintenance Manual. Do not use
any other method.
• Use leather gloves when handling the wire rope.
• When carrying out the preparation work for towing
with two or more workers, determine the signals
to use and follow these signals correctly.
• If the engine on the problem machine will not
start or there is a failure in the brake system.
always contact your DOOSAN distributor.
• Never go between the towing machine and the
towed machine during the towing operation.
• It is dangerous to carry out towing on slopes, so
select a place where the slope is gradual. If there
is no place where the slope is gradual, carry out
operations to reduce the angle of the slope before
starting the towing operation.
• When towing a problem machine, always use a
wire rope with a sufficient towing capacity.
• Do not use a frayed, kinked rope or a rope with
any loss of diameter.
