Safety guidelines for driving a tow tractor
Operators must obey the same rules within
the plant as on the road. They must drive at
speeds appropriate for the driving conditions.
Therefore, they must drive slowly:
●
When cornering
●
Through narrow passageways
●
Through swing doors
●
In low-visibility areas
●
When the roadway is uneven
Operators must always maintain a safe brak-
ing distance from vehicles or persons. They
must always maintain control of the tow trac-
tor. They must avoid sudden stops, making
fast U-turns, overtaking other vehicles in po-
tentially hazardous or low-visibility areas.
●
This tow tractor is not designed for trans-
porting people.
●
Operators must always stay within the tow
tractor clearance.
●
Stay in the safety area (working area de-
fined by the manufacturer).
●
Make sure the tow tractor is stable, and do
not exceed its maximum capacity.
Take a test drive on an open surface.
It is not recommended to use a phone, MP3
player or any electrical equipment. They can
disrupt driver concentration and awareness of
surroundings.

wear to be able to drive and brake in complete
