Operation 4
Emergency operation
The following must be taken into consideration
when doing this:
• Only tow at creep speed
• There must always be a driver in
the towed
truck
• There must not be anyone in the danger
area of the trailer train
• In order to prevent strong lateral forces and
therefore the risk of tipping, always leave
plenty of space when driving round corners
• The vehicle used for towing m
ust always be
driven carefully and be able
to brake gently
and in good time
Towing with non-operatio
nal steering
If the steering has failed, the truck can be
towed using equipment such as steerable
heavy-duty rollers. Depending on the de-
sign, the heavy-duty rollers must be placed
underneath the drive wheel or underneath
the chassis. As the drive wheel does not
come into contact with the ground when using
this towing method, the brakes can also no
longer operate. Therefore, please observe
the safety information in the section entitled
"Brake emergency ventilation".
When hooking on the truck in order for it to
be towed with the drive unit leading, a sling or
rope that is of the appropriate length and has
sufficient load capacity must be guided round
the collision protection.

questions, please contact the relevant service
station.
