SECTION 3 MACHINE TRANSPORT PAGE 6 AND STORAGE 3.3. MOVING A DISABLED MACHINE is properly secured to the drawbar pins or tow hooks (if equipped). Do not use cables having broken wires, thin spots or loops. Do not use a chain for towing, The strength of the towing line or of the bar should be at least 150 percent of the gross weight of the towing machine. () CAUTION! When using a cable, be sure it is strong enough for the expected load and A cable, which fails under load, can whip and cause serious injury. Stand clear. Do not pull or tow unless the operator's compartment is guarded against or out of reach of a whipping cable. Attach only to the machine pull hook or drawbar. Failure to follow these instructions could cause serious injury. ( WARNING! When towing with a cable, take up the slack slowly to avoid jerking. incorrectly. Block the machine to prevent movement before and after releasing the brakes. When the pinion gears of final drives are removed, the machine has NO brakes. The machine can roll freely and cause personal injury or death. ( WARNING! Personal injury or death could result when towing a disabled machine IMPORTANT: A machine MUST NOT be towed if the steering drive and/ or final drive are out of order. It must be transported to avoid further damage. To avoid the possibility of power train damage, limit towing to a distance of 1.0 [km] and limit its velocity to 2.0 [km/h]. The brakes on this machine are springs’ applied automatically when the engine is stopped or the steering hydraulic system fails. Keep the tow line or bar angle to a minimum. Do not exceed a 30 degree angle from the straight ahead position. Do not allow an operator to be on the machine that is being towed unless the operator can control the steering and/or the braking If the tractor can be towed and engine and steering hydraulic system can be operated, the machine can be towed with a rope or rigid tow bar following the procedure described below: 1. Lock the drive train with a lock lever. 2. Altach a towing cable or a drawbar of a sufficient strength to a pull hook (1, Fig. 3.5) or drawbar (1, Fig. 3.6). 3. Start the engine and unlock the drive train lock lever. 4, Release the brake pedal and tow the machine for a short distance only.

Rigid Drawbar If the tractor can be towed but the engine and/or steering hydraulic system are inoperable, than the brakes are applied and machine cannot be moved. The machine can be towed following the procedure described below: 1. Lock the drive train with a lock lever. 2. Ifthe machine is on a slope, than - with a small grade and hard ground, block the machine track chains with wooden throngs - with a steep slope, block the machine with a tow bar attached to a drawbar or hitch and the towing machine. Make sure that the towing machine has enough brake capacity, enough weight and enough power; the towing machine must be as large as the disabled machine or larger. When towing a disabled machine on a slope, one or more towing machines must be able to provide good steering control and braking capacity. This can demand a larger towing machine and extra machines attached at the back. This will prevent uncontrolled machine rollover down the slope. 3, Release the brake pedal.

In machines SIN: 33597 and up, release the brakes, supplying the pressurized grease to the L.H and RH side brakes. Follow the procedure provided below: a. remove rear shield, that is located between rear frame and fuel reservoir, b. shift the tow valve lever (1, Fig. 3.7) to upright position — actuated (ON). ©. tee in two pressure gauges (having a reading range of 0 - 4 [MPal) to quick disconnects (1 and 2, Fig. 3.8) at the drive train diagnostic center, to take a reading of pressurized pumped grease d, attach a hand lubricator to one of the quick disconnects (2, Fig. 3.7). Pump a sufficient amount of grease to release the brakes. The teed pressure gauge is to read a pressure ranging from 1500 to 1800 [kPa]. The amount of grease required depends on the amount of pressure dissipation in the system, repeat the operation from step “a” for the other quick disconnect (2). pumping an extra grease to a quick disconnect (2) may prove necessary to compensate for the pressure dissipation as the pressure drop below 700 [kPa] will cause that the brakes will apply automatically. NOTE: Bear in mind that applied brake pedal will cause that the system pressure will dissipate and, consequently, the brakes will apply. g._ once the towing completed and the hand lubricator removed, disconnect the tow bar and shift the tow valve lever (1, Fig. 3.7) to its level (horizontal) position — OFF. h. restore rear shield, that is located between rear frame and fuel reservoir, i. once the machine repaired, start the engine, apply the brake pedal until all grease has been removed from the brake system and both brake pressure will dissipate to zero with a brake pedal applied): j. remove grease from hydraulic lines and fittings hooked to quick disconnects (1 and 2, Fig. 3.8), earlier version later version Fig. 3.7.

MACHINE STORAGE 3.4.1. PREPARING FOR STORAGE When a machine is taken out of service and stored for more than 30 days, steps must be taken to protect the machine, Leaving machine outdoors exposed to the elements will materially shorten its life. An enclosure will protect the machine from rapid temperature changes and lesson the amount of condensation that forms in hydraulic components, engine, fuel tank and final drives. If it is not possible to put the machine in an enclosure, cover it with a tarpaulin After the machine has been positioned for storage and the engine shutdown, perform the following operations: 1. Visually inspect the machine for external leakage and other defects. 2, Clean the radiator Refer to “RADIATOR’ in Section 5. 3, Thoroughly clean the machine; be sure to rinse off any corrosive deposits. 4. Correct any defects found. Consult Authorized Distributor of Construction Equipment 5 Clean or replace the air cleaner elements. Refer to “ENGINE INLET AIR CLEANING AND EXHAUST SYSTEM" in Section 5. 6. The cooling system should be completely drained, chemically flushed, and refilled with a conditioned water/antifreeze solution suitable for the lowest temperature anticipated. Refer to Section 5 “REPLACEMENT LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS" for the proper antifreeze and conditioner concentrations. IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances should the vehicle be stored with a dry cooling system. 7. Drain the water from the fuel tank 8. Replace the fuel filters. Refer to "FUEL SYSTEM" in Section 5.
