6.1 Recovery
Towing of the wheel loader must be restricted to
clearing a junction or a road, to prevent damage to the
hydrostatic travel drive.
If possible, let the diesel engine run at low idle during
towing.
Towing lugs
• Front: right and left on the axle plates.
• Rear bottom right and left on the side plates of the
rear end.
• Whenever the wheel loader has to be towed, for
whatever reason, the "Travel” oil circuit must be
opened so that the hydrostatic transmission no
longer acts as an auxiliary brake.
• At the two high-pressure relief valves (26/1) with
bypass, loosen the screw (27/1) by
approx. 3 turns.
• After towing, screw back in screw (27/1) until the
stop.
