7.10 TOWING THE MOWER ______________________________________________________
If the mower has a problem and can not drive to the service area, open the tow valve and load the mower on a trailer. If
a trailer is not available, tow the mower at a slow speed for short distances.
Be careful when you load or unload the mower on the trailer. Fasten the mower to the trailer to prevent the mower to
move on the trailer.
If the trailer is moved on the highway, close fuel shutoff valve and inflate the tires to the maximum pressure recorded on
the tire before you fasten the mower to the trailer. Decrease the tire pressure after the mower is removed from the
trailer.
Remove the seat and the seat base assembly. Open the
bypass valve before you tow the mower. The bypass valve lets
the mower be moved without the engine started and to prevent
possible damage to hydraulic components.
The bypass valve is found on the left hand side of the traction
pump below the operator seat. To open the valve, use a
wrench or put a small screwdriver into the hole in the valve
stem. Turn the valve two full turns (720°).
Remove the floorboard panel. Rotate the brake release lever
to the released position. To release the brakes, turn the
steering wheel to the right until you feel resistance.
Before towing, make sure the cutting units are lifted. If the
cutting units can not be lifted, remove the cutting units from the
mower.
When the mower gets to the service area, close the bypass
valve completely, rotate brake release lever to the normal
operation position. Install seat and make certain the seat
latches are closed.
NOTICE
When you tow the mower, do not drive more than 2 mph
(3.2 km/hr). Jacobsen recommends that you do not tow
the mower for long distances.
