2.1.8BeltLoaderTowingInstructions
Occasionally, due to a mechanical failure, a TUG Belt Loader may require towing for some dis-
tance. If at all possible, the Belt Loader should be moved with a suitable tow truck or on a flat bed
tow truck. If this is not practical, the Belt Loader can be towed with all four wheels on the ground.
In this situation, extreme diligence is required.
2.1.8.1TowingRequirements
CAUTION: Do not tow the Belt Loader if it has experienced a hydraulic fail-
ure as the unit may not be steerable! The maximum tow distance with the
driveshaft installed is 1 mile at a speed of no more than 5 mph. If the
required towing distance is more than 1 mile, the driveshaft must be
removed from the Belt Loader to avoid transmission damage. The maxi-
mum towing speed without the driveshaft is 5 mph.
WARNING: FAILURE TO USE PROPER TOWING GEAR CAN CAUSE SERI-
OUS INJURY OR DEATH.
