Information regarding towing
Accident hazard due to incorrect towing!
Can result in severe injury or death.
► The machine may only be towed using suitable towing
equipment (towing bar or cable) in connection with suitable
towing facilities, such as a towing coupling, hooks and eyes.
► Start machine travel and tow away slowly.
► Ensure that no one is between the vehicles during towing.
► Have a recovery service or a Wacker Neuson service center
tow the machine away if necessary.
► See chapter “Safety, section 2.8”.
► Ensure that no one is near the towing bar or cable. The lateral
safety distance is equal to 1.5 times the length of the towing
equipment.
Only tow the machine if absolutely necessary.
► Tow away the machine only if the engine is running and if the drive
is functional. A malfunctioning machine must be loaded with a
crane.
► If necessary, contact a Wacker Neuson service center for
towing the machine away.
► Fasten the towing equipment only on the towing eye hook
provided for this.
► The maximum admissible load of the towing eye hook is
equal to 1.5 times the maximum weight of the machine.
► A tractor vehicle of the same weight level must be used as a
minimum.
In addition, the tractor vehicle must be equipped with a safe
brake system and sufficient tractive power.
Use only OSHA-approved lifting devices.
Use edge protectors to avoid damage both to the machine and
the OSHA-approved lifting devices.
