C. EMERGENCY TOWING PROCEDURES
If it is necessary to tow the machine, follow these steps completely:
1. Remove the uppermost plug on each drive hub.
2. Remove the wheel motor shield from all four wheels by removing the clip pins and pulling the
shield off the pins. Then you may lift the shield up and off the front cap screws using the key hole
slots in the shield.
3. Loosen and remove the bolts holding the motors in the drive hub.
4. Pull the motor out of the drive hub. You may need to use a standard screwdriver to pry the motor
free. There will be some oil that drains from the hub when the motor is removed– use a collection
pan to collect as much of the oil as possible.
5. Using a wire or chain, support the wheel motor from the frame. Do not allow it to hang from the
hydraulic hoses.
6. Reinstall the plugs in the drive hubs.
7. Lower the rear belly shield by removing the clip pins along the front edge.
8. Turn the brake release valve located on the top of the rear axel behind the deluge tank.
9. Climb onto the machine, turn the valve on the back of the brake release pump, and pump until
the pressure relief squeals a few times (10 to 12 pumps)
10. Attach chains to the rear towing loops on the bottom of the machine and
slowly
tow the ma-
chine backwards.
Hagie Manufacturing Company does not recommend any form of transportation other than
driving the sprayer.
