TOWING THE MACHINE
Prior to the towing, make sure that the cable or the

towing bar are in good conditions and are strong
enough for the towing. Use a cable or a towing bar
having a capacity of at least 1.5 times the gross mass
of the pulling machine, in the event a disabled machine
stuck in mud must be recovered or must be towed on
a slope.
When towing, connect the towing cable to the
prescribed points on the fame only, if installed.
These towing instructions are intended to move a
machine incapable of moving on its own a short
distance at slow speed. Pull the machine at a speed
of 2 kmph (1.25 mph) or lower toward a place suitable
for the repair operation.
Always transport the machine, if a longer distance
haulage becomes necessary.
Do not use chains for towing. A link of the chain could
snap, causing personal injuries. Use a steel cable with
eyes at the ends. Place a flagman in a safe position to
stop the towing operation in the event the cable starts
breaking or fraying. Stop towing every time the pulling
unit moves without moving the machine on-tow.
Keep the angle of the towing cable at a minimum.
Do not exceed a deviation angle of 30 ° from a straight
position.
A sudden movement of the machine could overload
the cable or the towing bar. causing its failure. For
better working conditions, move gradually and
smoothly.
Normally, the towing machine must have the same
characteristics of the machine on-tow. Check that the
towing machine has a sufficient mass and power,
capable of controlling both machines in relation to the
slope and distance to be travelled.
To allow a sufficient control and braking, when moving
a machine down a slope, it could be necessary a larger
machine or connecting other machines to the rear part,
to avoid uncontrolled movements.
It is not possible to provide instructions for different
situations. The minimum capacity of the towing
machine is sufficient for flat surfaces whereas the
maximum one is required on gradients or rough terrain.

LONG STORAGE OF THE MACHINE
If the unit is going to be inoperative for a long time, comply with the following rules:
- Clean the machine completely and lubricate all components equipped with grease fittings.
- Drain the water from the cooling system. If the system is filled with an antifreeze mixture, this operation is not
necessary.
- To avoid rusting, it is necessary to refill completely the fuel reservoir.
- Remove the injectors and inject, through the injector holes, some engine oil (the operation should be performed
using a syringe, after moving each piston to B.D.C.).
- After injecting the oil, crank the engine a few turns using the starter motor, so as to spread a protective film of

steep slopes downhill. Steering is apt to be tricky on
steep slopes, whether up or down, because when one
steering clutch is released, the track on that side slips
and turns faster and the machine pulls to this side
under gravity and might place itself transversally of the
grade with the consequent danger of tipping over.
Digging and pushing should be done downhill to obtain
a better pushing effort. This is particularly advanta-
geous when the ground is very tough, even if the soil
must be pushed up the hill. When digging is limited to B
a given area on the slope and material must then be
pushed downhill, it is a good technique to drop to or
three loads at the end of the cut, then pushing most of
the pile down in a single pass.

Notching a shelf on side slopes, travelling and unloading

downhill.
Grading on side slopes

If a slope must be notched (i.g. road cuts in hillsides)
it will be necessary to first build a shelf. Set the blade
in tilt position opposite to the slope so the dirt moved
will slide downhill and help in building up the shelf. If the
slope is too steep to work effectively with tilted blade,
proceed in one of the following ways:
Push the material downhill to form a shelf as in (A), so
the dozer can start level cuttings, as in (B).
Start cut transversally to the slope, then turn at the
same time to unload downhill. This will provide a more
level shelf, which can than be enlarged or graded off as
required.
Dig a strip transversally to the slope, then proceed with
a series of parallel cuts, always operating the higher
track in the previous strip.
In each case the best possible advantage should be
taken with the soil configuration. When natural aids are
not available, the machine can be moved onto boards
or other lifts to start the cut at the desired slope.

is to be felled, so that the blade can touch the tree in
a higher position. Remember, when the tree begins to
fall, to back-up rapidly, so that the uplifting roots will
not catch under and tilt over the machine.
RIPPER
The ripper is supplied as an optional.

To raise or lower the ripper, move the control lever
backward or forward, respectively. To stop the ripper
in the desired position, release the control lever which
will return to hold position in neutral.
The ripper is equipped with shanks/teeth removable
from the relevant frame, as required. Thus it is
possible to work with all the teeth or, in particularly
heavy conditions, with the central one only.
Engage FIRST gear for all ripping operations. Use

more shanks rather than increasing travel speed.
To obtain the best results, the following considerations

should be kept in mind:
Breakage. The soil can be broken in fine or coarse

pieces, as required. It depends on work depth, number
and shape of the shanks and pass spacing.
Breakage must be established on the basis of the
subsequent use of the ripped material. As an example,
if the material must be spread and back bladed, a finer

breakage is required than when it must be dozed away.

the machine, taking into account the breakage
desired. When not in use, always carry the ripper in full
Note that: raise position during operation and lowered to the
ground when parked.
- With strongly cohesive materials, such as clay, tuff,
marl, gypsum, sandstone, calcite and other
compact soils, the greater the depth the coarser the
breakage;
- With stratified materials, such as limestone, schist,
gneiss, travertine etc., the greater the depth the finer
the breakage.
Number and shape of teeth. The number of teeth

depends on the power required of the machine in
relation to the desired breakage. Generally, the greater
the number of teeth, the finer is the breakage.
Exceptions are stratified materials where large slabs
are lifted when working with more than one tooth.
As regard tooth shape, the partially curved type can be
considered a universal standard. Curved teeth
facilitate the lifting and to some extent, also the turning
over of the material.
D350M0023
Spacing between passes. It must be such as to

complete the breakage of the previous pass, always in
relation to the desired fineness. Generally, spacing
must be less than work depth. Notice - Do not reverse or steer while the teeth are into

depth must be reduced) criss-cross passes may be
required.
Speed and direction. It is good practice not to exceed

1.5 to 2 km/h (1 to 1.2 mph) to prevent harmful shocks
to the implement and excessive wear. When working
on soft material, it is preferable to increase the depth
rather than the speed. In the case of stratified
materials, work crosswise and against the vein; on the
contrary, if the material is landslipping. work in the
direction of the landslide.
Material heaping. Generally it is convenient to heap

material crosswise to the ripping direction in order to
keep the transport distance to a minimum and to
smooth out any irregularity.
