PRECAUTIONS FOR EMERGENCY RECOVERY 2.7 PRECAUTIONS FOR EMERGENCY RECOVERY q The draw hooks must be used only for the first aid and not for towing the machine. q Before moving the machine, make sure that the gearshift lever is in neutral and disengage the four-wheel drive. q Incorrect manoeuvres may cause serious damage, injury and even death. q To move the machine, use properly dimensioned steel cables; do not use worn cables or cables with broken strands (A), twisted cables (B), deformed cables (C). q During the removal, no one should be allowed to get near the machines or the cable. q Do not get astride the cable.

q Move the machine only as far as necessary to allow the required repairs to be carried out. q Do not remove the machine in any way other than that indicated in paragraph "3.15.1 HOW TO REMOVE THE MACHINE". q The maximum applicable force for each draw hook is F = 4854 kg. q Use cables of the same length and pull continuously, without jerking movements. q The drawing force must be parallel to the machine axis (advancement direction), in such a way as to avoid the application of sideward forces on the draw hooks.
