Towing Method - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

TOWING METHOD

CAUTION: Use wire rope having the strength more
than approx. 150 % of the machine weight.
• Towing from the front side of the machine
When using wire ropes, be sure to attach wire ropes
to the front axle. Always use soft material at the cor-
ners between the front axle and wire ropes to prevent
damage to wire ropes.
• Towing from the rear side of the machine
Be sure to attach wire ropes to the drawbar pin. Al-
ways use the lock pin after completely inserting the
drawbar pin to prevent the wire rope from coming off.
Attach wire ropes to the machine as illustrated when the ma-
chine must be unavoidably towed, such cases when the ma-
chine can not be evacuated from soft ground by its own driv-
ing power.
