TOWING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Before towing, ensure tow bar is in good working condition. Use of a weak tow bar could result in
injury or death.
Incorrectly towing a roller may cause injury or death.
Do not allow an operator on roller unless engine is running and the operator can control steering and/or
braking. Uncontrolled roller may cause injury or death.
Do not use a chain or cable for pulling. A chain or cable link can break causing injury.
The towing vehicle should be as large or larger than the roller. Any vehicle used to tow the roller shall
have enough brake capacity, weight, and power to control both vehicles for the grade and distance
involved.
To provide sufficient control and braking when moving a disabled roller downhill, a larger towing vehi-
cle, or additional vehicles, connected to the rear of the towed roller is required.
Turning on a slope will reduce the stability of both the towing vehicle and the towed roller and could
result in a tip-over accident.
NOTE
When towing, attach tow bar to tiedown points.
NOTE
Towing instructions are for moving a disabled roller a short distance at a low speed, not faster than 1.2
mph (2 km/h), to a convenient location for repair or transport. These instructions are for emergencies
only. Always transport roller when a long-distance move is required.
The roller can be towed a short distance or can be pulled from the mud while the engine is running if the
power train and steering system are working. The operator on towed roller must steer in direction of
tow.
