shackle pin and lock (2) of adequate size to the towing
bracket (1) as shown. Tow the machine slowly and
only short distances.
Figure 3-47 Towing

Secure the lifting fixture sling to the lifting points (1,
Figure 3-48) on the machine as follows:
• length L1 on the lifting sling for the boom must be
6’3” (1.9 m) long.

Figure 3-48 Machine Lifting Points
• When towing the machine, make sure
no one is close to the towing apparatus,
or in between the vehicles. The machine
may only be towed using suitable tow-
ing equipment, in connection with suit-
able towing apparatus, such as a towing
coupling, hooks and eyes.
• Do not use a towing apparatus that is
kinked, twisted, or otherwise damaged.
• Do not apply high loads abruptly to the
retrieval apparatus. The towing bracket
has a maximum admissible load of 5238
lbf (2330 daN).
• The towing bracket is designed for
retrieving the machine only. Do not use
the excavator to tow other vehicles.
• Do not tow the machine if the travel
drive is damaged. Damage to the
machine cause by towing is not covered
under warranty.
• Use a lifting device and rigging with suf-
ficient capacity for the weight of the
machine plus any attachments.
• Maintain center-of-gravity and balance
points on the machine. See Figure 3-48.
• Do not swing boom.
• Never lift machine with the operator
aboard.
