Warnings for towing
WARNING
Risk of accident due to towing of the vehicle!
Towing the vehicle may cause situations that cannot be foreseen. This
may result in accidents that could result in serious injury or death.
► Only tow the vehicle if the steering and braking systems are fully
functional.
► Only tow the vehicle with towing gear of sufficient dimensions.
► No persons are allowed to stay in the range of action of the towing
gear during towing.
► Secure the vehicle against unintentional movement and unauthor-
ized use once towing is over.
NOTICE
Only tow the vehicle if the steering and brake are fully functional!
► Only tow the vehicle to the extent necessary for the towing operation,
but not more than 500 meters.
► Do not exceed a maximum speed of 5 km/h.
► For longer distances, use a transport vehicle or have the vehicle re-
paired on site.
Emergency steering feature
The steering system is only operational when the engine is running nor-
mally.
The vehicle can still be steered if the diesel engine or the pump drive
breaks down. However, operating the steering system then requires
greater strength and the steering will only respond slowly. Take this into
account especially when towing the vehicle. Adjust the towing speed to
the changed steering behavior (walking pace)!
8.1.2
Towing the vehicle
The drive system must be short circuited in order to tow the vehicle. In
this case the power transmission is switched from power transmission to
freewheeling. For this purpose the variable displacement pump is
equipped with high-pressure limiting valves with bypass function.
