(13) Undo fastening screws in the wheel house rear right
(7-4/arrows) and pull the mudguard off to the side.
(14) Switch the hydrostatic drive motor to free oil flow
before towing. For this purpose, screw in the setscrews at
both high pressure relief valves (7-5/arrows) of the drive
pump until they are level with the hexagon nuts (size 13)
loosened beforehand. Then tighten the hexagon nuts.
NOTE
The operator of the loader is responsible that the
(optional) tool required to remove the mudguard
(items 12 and 13) and to adjust the drive pump
(item 14) is always on board the loader.
NOTE
After towing has been completed, loosen the
hexagon nuts again. Screw the setscrews out of
both high-pressure relief valves until they stop
and tighten the lock nuts.
(15) Remove the chocks (if applicable).
(16) Release the parking brake lever (4-9/3).
DANGER
- More power is required to steer if the engine
has failed.
- Tow the loader at walking speed (2 km/h).
- The towing distance should not exceed 1 km.
- For a longer distance, the defective loader must
be loaded onto a truck (for the lashing points,
see 7-2/arrow, 7-7/6/arrows and 7-7/arrows).
