ATTACHMENTS ___________________________________________________________

The Groom Master will accept several attachments 
designed to perform a variety of operations. Before 
installing and using attachments read and save the 
instruction sheet included with it. 

Contact your Jacobsen Distributor for a complete list of 
attachments and accessories available for your machine.

6.9  TOWING / TRAILERING _____________________________________________________

If the unit experiences problems and removed from the 
area, it should be loaded onto a trailer for transport. If a trailer 
is not available, the unit can be towed slowly short 
distances. 

Use care when loading and unloading unit. Fasten unit to 
trailer to prevent it from rolling or shifting during transport.

Before towing, open tow valve. The tow valve permits 
moving the unit without starting the engine and prevents 
possible damage to hydraulic components.

The tow valve 

(A)

 is located on the hydraulic drive pump 

under rear hood. To open valve, insert a pin into the small 
hole in the valve stem. Turn the valve counterclockwise one 
full turn.

Before towing make sure attachments are raised. If they 
cannot be raised, remove them from the unit.

Close valve completely after towing.

NOTE:

 

Do not exceed 1 MPH (1.6 KPH) while towing. 

Long distance towing is not recommended.
