TOWING
CAUTION
Do NOT attempt to start tractor engine by towing. Any attempt to start engine by towing will damage trans-
mission.
General Information.
1.
a.
Towing machine must have sufficient brake capacity, weight, and power to tow disabled machine. It must be able
to control both machines for the grade and distance involved.
CAUTION
Do NOT tow at speeds over 1.2 mph (2 kph). Failure to do so may result in damage to equipment.
b.
Disabled machine must only be towed a short distance and at slow speed, in order to clear job site. Always trans-
port machine if longer distance moving is required.
c.
Tow disabled machine only from the front, using a medium-duty towbar connected to towing machine's tow pintle.
WARNING
Do NOT use a chain for pulling a disabled machine. A chain link may break, causing injury or death to per-
sonnel.
d.
If a 613CS Scraper or 613CWD Water Distributor is used as towing machine, a towbar cannot be used between
machines. Instead, use a wire tow cable at front and rear of disabled machine with two scrapers (or water distribu-
tors). One machine serves as the towing machine, the other serves to provide control and braking. Cable must be
equipped with cable loops or rings.
e.
Inspect towbar or wire tow cable before towing to ensure it is in good condition. The strength of the towbar or wire
tow cable should be at least 150 percent of the gross weight of the towing machine. This requirement is for a dis-
abled machine that is stuck in the mud or for towing on a grade.
