SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION

TOWING 2
WHEN TOWING
Serious injury or death could result if a disabled machine is towed incorrectly or if there is a mistake in the selec-
tion or inspection of the wire rope.
For towing method, see section “MACHINE TOWING METHOD (3-113)“.
q Always wear leather gloves when handling wire rope.
q Connect a wire rope to the part indicated with the arrow in
the diagram at right.
q During the towing operation, never stand between the tow-
ing machine and the machine being towed.
q Never tow a machine on a slope.
q Never pull the towing equipment up or insert a pedestal.
q Never use a wire rope which has cut strands (A), reduced
diameter (B), or kinks (C). There is danger that the rope
may break during the towing operation.
q If the engine stops or the oil pressure in the brake circuit lowers because of a trouble in the brake valve sole-
noid, the brake works and the machine cannot move. To move the machine in this case, the oil pressure in the
brake circuit must be heightened to the specified level with a special device. Ask your Komatsu distributor.
