moved unless the transmission pump is prepared for
towing.

!M
CAUTION
Towing a machine too far or too fast can damage the
transmission. Do not tow the machine further than one
mile. Use a trailer for greater distances. When towing
do not travel faster than 15 mph (25 km/h).
Use a rigid draw-bar. If a towing chain must be used,
then use two towing vehicles. One towing vehicle
should be coupled to the front of the disabled
machine. The other towing vehicle should be coupled
to the rear of the disabled machine, to provide braking
power.
The towing vehicle(s) must have enough pulling and
braking power to move and stop the machine.

Using suitable lifting equipment, remove any payload
from the machine.
2
Attach a rigid tow bar between a suitable connection
point on the machine and the towing vehicle.

Place blocks both sides of each wheel on the disabled
machine.
Important:
If the machine is to be towed a short distance,
the transmission pump bypass valves should be opened.
The machine should only be towed the minimum distance
required to load it onto a transporter. The transporter
should be positioned as close as possible to the machine.

Open the two bypass valves, as follows:
a
Remove the seat and seat pan to gain access to
the transmission pump. Refer to

until the top is level with the
locknut. Tighten the locknut.
Repeat the procedure with the top bypass valve.
5
Remove the wheel blocks from each wheel and tow
the machine to a place of repair at a maximum speed
of 2kph (1 1/4mph). Tow the machine the minimum
distance necessary (maximum 1km). When towing is
complete, place chocks both sides of each wheel.
6
Close the bypass valves: Slacken the locknut and
rotate the two bypass valve adjusters until the stop is
felt. Retighten the locknut.
