Towing
1. Remove lower operator seat. Locate the towing bolts underneath the pumps on the passenger side. They are in line with the main hydraulic
drives on both pumps. There is (1) bolt per pump, thus (2) total (See Figure-1, 2). Loosen both towing bolts by turning 1 to 1-1/2 turns coun-
terclockwise. It will require a 14 mm socket or wrench.
2. Now locate the ball valve. It’s on the passenger side under the lower operator seat as shown in Figure-3. The handle will be horizontal in
the closed position. Close the valve by pulling the handle up, vertical, until it firmly stops.
3. It’s time to release the hydraulic brakes. Located on the driver side under the lower operator seat is the towing plunger. It’s a circular pump
(See Figure-4, X). Push in a downwards motion and pump approximately 15-20 times until the towing plunger is firm, or the machine rolls
freely.
4. Your brakes should now be released and you should be able to tow your machine. Note : Do not tow your machine over 5 mph
5. When towing is complete, reverse steps #1-2.
