19 Towing
The permitted total weight of the AS 990 to be towed
is that to be used with regards to the forces that
occur during towing. The tow rope or tow bar must
be designed for the respective forces and must
be fastened to a suitable location on the vehicle.
Towing with a tow rope, without a tow bar is only
permitted if the brakes of the vehicle being towed
are functioning properly. While towing with the
vehicle engine switched off, the steering and brakes
will be very sluggish. Turning the steering wheel
and braking require greater force. Tow very carefully
and drive slowly (max. 5 km/h). Take off and tow
smoothly (no jerky movements). Only tow the
machine in a straight line.
