GENERAL SAFETY BEFORE YOU SERVICE
TOWING CAUTION:
• Do not start abruptly when pulling the towing chain or cable. Move slowly until chain or cable is stretched. For this purpose, only the towing and pulling devices should be used. Extreme care must be taken when using the towing devices. • Use the drawbar and/or the approved towing points when the machine is ! used in towing. If a cable or a chain is used, keep personnel far away from the towing line. Injuries caused by towing cable or chain may be fatal. • When absolutely necessary to tow a machine, do not exceed the recommended towing speed. Make sure the machine being towed has sufficient braking capacity to stop the towed load. If the machine being towed cannot be braked, a tow bar or two towing machines must be used one in front and the other at the rear to act as a brake. Avoid long distance towing.
