PRECAUTIONS FOR THE REMOVAL

2.7 PRECAUTIONS FOR THE REMOVAL
The draw hook must be used only for the first aid and not for
towing the machine.
Before moving the machine, make sure that all the controls are
in neutral.
Incorrect manoeuvres may result in serious injuries or even
death.
To move the machine, use properly dimensioned steel cables;
do not use worn cables or cables with broken strands (A),
twisted cables (B), deformed cables (C).
During the removal, no one can be allowed to get near the ma-
chines or the cable.
Do not get astride the cable.
Remove the machine only as much as necessary to permit the
required repairs.
Put wooden blocks between the towing cable and the machine
body, in order to avoid wear or damage.
Do not remove the machine in any way other than that indicat-
ed at point "3.15.2 HOW TO REMOVE THE MACHINE").
CAUTION
The maximum applicable force for the removal is the fol-
lowing:
F=2675 kg (for PC20R only)
F=3065 kg (for PC27R only).
Use cables having the same length and draw continuosly
and constantly, without jerks.
Arrange and couple the machine to be removed by posi-
tioning it on the same axis as the towing vehicle; the
drawing force must be parallel to the axis of movement of
the machine.
