OPERATION 16.2.1 WHEN ENGINE CAN BE USED If the transmission and steering wheel can be operated and the engine is running, it is possible to tow the machine out of the mud. The operator should sit on the machine being towed and operate the steering in the direction that the machine is being towed. 16.2.2 WHEN ENGINE CANNOT BE USED When towing a machine with the engine stopped, use the following procedure. 1. Because the transmission oil does not lubricate the system, remove the front and rear drive shafts. If necessary, block the tires to prevent the machine from moving while removing the drive shafts. 2. When the steering cannot be operated, remove the steering cylinder. 3.
Even if the brakes are in good condition, the braking force is reduced each time the pedal is depressed. After a specified number of brake applications, the brakes will not work. 4. Connect the towing equipment securely. When performing towing operations, use two machines of the same class as the machine being towed. Connect one machine to the front and one to the rear of the machine being towed. Remove the blocks from under the tires and tow the machine. WA450-3MC 2-85
