the instructions below.
Short distance towing with the engine running
Activate the parking brake, and temporarily
stop the engine. Chock the wheels to prevent the
planer from moving.
Open the two foot boards on the platform and
found the propel system by-pass ball valve (1)
which handle should be in line with pipeline to put
the system in by-pass mode.
By-pass mode means that A and B sides on the
pump are freely connected to the pressure side.
This function enables a machine to be moved
without the drive shaft rotating.
Start the engine and allow it to idle.
Unlock the control lever and place the
Forward/Reverse lever in the forward or reverse
position to release the parking brake.
The planer can now be towed and can also be
steered if the steering system is otherwise
functioning.
After towing, disengage the by-pass mode by turn
the handle of by-pass ball valves (1) to make it
vertical to the pipeline.
The machine must not be moved at a speed
higher than 0.5 km/h, and no more than 300
meters. Otherwise there is a risk of damaging the
drives. Make sure to reset the towing valves (by
turning them three turns clockwise) after towing.
