2.5 Winching and Towing Procedure
This section provides the operator with procedure about
winching and towing and how to release the brakes.
WARNING
Ensure platform is fully lowered before
winching or towing. Sudden motion could
cause the MEWP to become unstable.
Death or serious injury could result.
WARNING
In emergency situations where MEWP
functions are not available and lowering
is impeded by an obstacle, utmost
care must be taken to move MEWP far
enough to clear obstacle. In such cases,
operation must be extremely smooth
with no sudden movements and must not
exceed a speed of 5 cm/sec.
WARNING
When pushing, winching or towing, do
not exceed 3 km/h.
WARNING
Do not push, winch or tow MEWP onto
a slope, or brake the towing vehicle
rapidly. Do not pull MEWP down an incline
towards a winch.
2.5-1 To Release the Free-wheeling Valve
1. Ensure MEWP is on level ground. Chock or block
the wheels to prevent MEWP from rolling.

Figure 2-8. Free-Wheeling Valve
2. Free-wheeling Valve - Turning the valve knob
counterclockwise (item 1) to a fully opened
position allows fluid to flow through the wheel
motors, thus providing “free-wheeling”.
WARNING
The free-wheeling valve must be closed
tightly (clockwise) for normal operation.
