8.9 Connecting salvaging aids
1
There is a salvaging lug (1) in the rear at the centre of the engine compartment for
connecting salvaging aids (tow bar, etc.).
ADVICE
Connecting of salvaging aids at the front side of the machine is extremely problematic
and must be carried out by qualified versed personnel only in an extreme emergency.
In case of need, contact ROPA customer service.
ADVICE
Always make sure of sufficient rigidity of the salvaging aids. Consider that the load
caused on the salvaging aids during salvaging of a vehicle may amount to several
times the normal vehicle weight. For salvaging of the machine, call in very experi-
enced specialists and always use equipment with sufficient bearing capacity and load
capacity and suitable vehicles.
