Precautions for Towing
WARNING: Never attempt to tow the machine if the
brake system is in need of repair. Ask your nearest
Hitachi dealer to repair the machine. Operate the ma-
chine only after repairs is completed.
Avoid towing the machine as much as possible. If the ma-
chine is to be unavoidably towed, beware of the following
points.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine with the parking
brake applied. Damage to the parking brake
may result.
• When the engine is operable:
Keep the engine running so that the steering and brake sys-
tem are operable. Release the parking brake. Disconnect the
front and rear propeller shafts. Then tow the machine.
• When the engine does not operate:
Removing the propeller shaft
• Since the parking brake cannot be released, manually
release the parking brake. Then, disconnect the front and
rear propeller shafts. At this time, wedge wheel stoppers
to all tires to prevent the machine from moving.
• The steering cylinders become inoperable. Switch the
hydraulic hose connections between the rod end side
and the head end side on one steering cylinder. Then, the
steering cylinders become free to move.
