TOWING MACHINE EMERGENCY RELEASE OF TOWLINE
WARNING
Should the LT "get in irons" or find that the tow must be released, the clutch brake can be
released and the towline allowed to pull off the drum. The bitter end is designed to pull
loose at approximately 15,000 lbs (6,803 kg) of pull. Ensure that all personnel are cleared
from the fantail to avoid line whip as it pulls off. Serious personal injury or death could
result.
1.
Clear all unnecessary personnel from the fantail.
2.
Ensure that the mechanical dog (figure 1, item 2) is not engaged.
3.
One crewmember releases the clutch brake handwheel (figure 2, item 1) and immediately leaves the area.
4.
Allow the wire rope to be pulled off the drum.
