WARNING
When the engine is shut down, the vehicle is very difficult to steer! The emergency
steering pump is only effective at speeds above approx. 4 km/h.
– Caution, if the brake is not functional! Only use vehicles with sufficient braking
power to tow the machine.
– For towing, use exclusively inflexible towing bars of sufficient dimensions. No other
vehicles may be towed or loads drawn using the machine itself.
If it is necessary to tow the machine, then always observe the regional regulations on
the towing vehicle and on securing of the vehicle combination on public roads and
paths.
– Shut down the diesel engine.
– Engage the parking brake and additionally secure the machine to prevent it from
rolling with the two wedges (1).
– Notify the nearest authorised customer service of ROPA. You need suitable sal-
vaging aids and tools.
– Switch to "Turtle" or gear 2 operating mode.
– Turn off compressed air supply to the pneumatic system. For this purpose, turn the
red plastic stopcock (3) above the transmission at right angles to the line.
