Safety instructions for towing away
If the diesel engine and/or the hydraulic drive breaks down, the machine can be towed out
of the danger zone under the following conditions.
• Be aware of the risks towing implies and if necessary, have a recovery service or an
authorized service centre tow away the machine
• The towing vehicle (tractor vehicle) must have enough tractive power and be fitted with
a safe braking system!
• The machine may only be towed using suitable towing equipment (towing bar) in
connection with suitable towing gear, such as a towing coupling, hooks and eyes!
• When towing with the front towing eye, ensure that the tyres do not touch the towing
gear by limiting the steering angle, especially in curves!
• Ensure that no one is in the danger zone!
• The machine may be towed with a cable if the service brakes and steering are fully
operational!
• If possible, run the diesel engine at idling speed when towing the machine
Risk of accidents! After having released them, the brake discs in the front axle
wheel motors must be enabled once towing is over!
The parking brake discs in the front axle wheel motors are automatically
enabled if the diesel engine or the hydraulic pump breaks down, and must
be opened mechanically if the machine has to be towed away
(spring brake actuator braking system)!
In order to avoid damage to the hydrostatic drive (variable displacement pump)
and the wheel motors, disable the high pressure lines on the valve block and
the brake discs in the wheel motors before towing away the machine
–seeGetting ready for towing on page 3-115!
☞Tow the machine out of the danger zone only at walking pace and only
over short distances (a maximum 300 metres)!
