2.5 Winching and Towing Procedure
This section provides the operator with the winching
and towing procedure, which includes instructions on
how to manually release the brakes.
WARNING
Ensure boom is in stowed position before
winching or towing. Sudden motion could
cause 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 50 mm/sec (2 in./sec).
WARNING
When pushing, winching or towing, do
not exceed 3.2 km/h (2 mph).
WARNING
Do not winch or tow MEWP on grade
steeper than 50%.
WARNING
Do not winch or tow MEWP onto a slope,
or brake the towing vehicle rapidly. Do
not pull MEWP down an incline towards
a winch.
1. Before winching or towing MEWP, fully retract,
lower and position boom over rear drive wheels
in line with direction of travel.
2. Manually release brakes (refer to Section 2.5-1).
3. Remove wheel chocks or blocks, and then winch
or tow MEWP to desired location.
4. Position MEWP on a rm and level surface.
5. Chock or block wheels to prevent MEWP from
rolling.
6. Locate the bypass valve on the inboard side of
the drive pump. Re-engage the drive pump by
loosening the valve stem (item 1 - marked with
yellow paint) 90 degrees counterclockwise.
