When you tow the machine from the front, attach the tow line to the tow eyes on the frame. In order to tow the machine from the rear, attach the tow line to the recovery hitch.Note: The recovery hitch is only for machine retrieval. Do not use the recovery hitch for any of the following:
a lifting point
a tie down point
towing a trailer
towing another vehicleDo not use a chain for pulling a disabled machine. A chain link can break. This may cause personal injury. Use a wire cable with ends that have loops or rings. Place an observer in a safe position in order to watch the pulling procedure. The observer can stop the procedure, if necessary. The procedure should be stopped if the cable starts to break. Also, stop the procedure if the cable starts to unravel. Stop pulling whenever the towing machine moves without moving the towed machine.Keep the tow line angle to a minimum. Do not exceed a 30 degree angle from the straight ahead position.Quick machine movement could overload the tow line or the tow bar. This could cause the tow line or the tow bar to break. Gradual, steady machine movement will be more effective.Normally, the towing machine should be as large as the disabled machine. Make sure that the towing machine has enough brake capacity, enough weight, and enough power. The towing machine must be able to control both machines for the grade that is involved and for the distance that is involved.You must provide sufficient control and sufficient braking when you are moving a disabled machine downhill. This may require a larger towing machine or additional machines that are connected to the rear of the disabled machine. This will prevent the machine from rolling away out of control.All situation requirements cannot be listed. Minimal towing machine capacity is required on smooth, level surfaces. On inclines, maximum towing machine capacity is required.When any towed machine is loaded, this machine must be equipped with a brake system that is operable from the operator compartment.Consult your Caterpillar dealer for the equipment that is necessary for towing a disabled machine.Towing with a Running Engine
If the engine is running, the machine can be towed for a short distance under certain conditions. The power train and the steering system must be operable. Tow the machine for a short distance only. For example, pull the machine out of mud or pull the machine to the side of the road.The operator on the towed machine must steer the machine in the direction of the tow line.Comply with all of the instructions that are outlined in this topic.Towing with a Stopped Engine
When the disabled machine's engine is stopped, perform the following steps before you tow the machine.
Reverse the hydraulic steering hose connections on one cylinder only.
