WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. SAFETY 7.5 TOWING Towing incorrectly may lead to serious personal injury or damage. Make sure all workers involved with the towing agree on signals before starting. If the problem machine’s engine will not start or has a failure in its brake system, contact your Komatsu distributor for repairs. Keep personnel away from the machines, especially the area between the towed and towing machines. When using another machine to tow this machine, use a wire rope with ample strength for the weight of this machine. NEVER tow a machine on a slope. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling wire rope.
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 being 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. Towing method WA450-3MC 1-22 WHEN TOWING
