4.5 Towing / Recovery
Risk of death or injury caused by manually disconnecting the engine brake
for the two drives!
When manually disconnecting the engine brake for the two drives, there is a risk
of death and injury, as well as a risk of material damage to the machine and
system! The engine brake lever must remain pulled out for the entire duration of
the brake deactivation!
• When towing / recovering, care must be taken to ensure that both people
who
are keeping the engine brake pulled out are not run over or drawn into the
machine.
• All people involved in operating the machine must be instructed in detail
before starting the work.
Both drive motors for the left and right drive chains close spring-loaded when there
is no current flowing through them. This means that the drive chains cannot be
moved when the drive motors have no power.
: Lever for opening the engine brake
1 Engine brake lever
2 Drive motor
Therefore, before the tracked mower can be towed / recovered with both drive
motors (2), the spring-loaded brake must be mechanically opened by hand using
the lever (1). To do so, the lever (1) must be pulled in the direction of the arrow and
held there. If the lever (1) is released, the brake will be activated immediately and
the vehicle can no longer be towed.
