TROUBLESHOOTING
Towing
AwARNING
When towing, selecting
the
wrong
wire
rope, inspecting improperly,
or
towing
incorrectly could lead
to
accidents,
resulting in serious injury
or
death.
• The wire rope breaking
or
detaching
could be extremely dangerous. Use
a wire rope suitable
for
the required
tractive force.
• Do
not
use a wire rope
that
is kinked,
twisted
or
otherwise damaged.
• Do
not
apply strong loads abruptly
to
the
wire
rope.
• Use safety gloves when handling
the
wire rope.
• Make sure there is an operator on
the
machine being
towed
as well as on
the
machine
that
is towing.
• Never
tow
on slopes.
• Do
not
let anyone near the wire rope
while towing.
Towing
the
Machine
Use the procedure described below
to
tow
light weight objects or the machine itself if it
is stuck
in
the mud and not able
to
get out
on its own.
IMPORTANT: Do
not
tow
a machine
if
its
engine
does
not
start
or
if
the
machine
does
not
run. Doing
so
could damage
the
machine being towed.
IMPORTANT: Be sure
to
follow
all
the
steps
below
closely
when
towing. Failure
to
heed even one
of
the
steps
may
cause
damage
to
the
hooks
(1).
