RYA05080 3.7.3 TOWING THE MACHINE When towing the machine, use a wire rope that has ample strength for the weight of the machine that is being towed. Do not apply a sudden load to the wire rope.
When the machine is stuck in soft ground and cannot escape under its own power, or when towing a heavy machine, pass the wire rope through the front of the track frame as shown in the diagram on the right before carrying out towing. Places pieces of wood between the wire ropes and the body to prevent the wire ropes from damaging the body. RYA00810 146 WARNING
