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.
