SAFETY 1 TOWING When Towing the Machine Injury or death could result if a disabled machine is towed incorrectly. If your machine is towed by another machine, always use a wire rope with a sufficient towing capacity. Before the machine is towed, hydraulically release the secondary brake. Never allow a disabled machine to be towed on a slope. Do not use a kinked or frayed wire rope. Do not straddle the towing cable or wire rope. When connecting up a towing machine, do not let anyone enter the area between the towing machine and the equipment be- ing towed. Set the towing machine and the towing connection of the equipment being towed in a straight line when connecting it.
Place pieces of wood between the wire ropes and body to protect them from wear or damage. see “see “METHODS OF TOWING MACHINE” on page 2-96 D87E-2 D87P-2 1-17
