6.3. Emergency towing of the machine
In the event of a fault, carry out the following operations to
tow the machine:
▪
Hook the machine to the provided holes.
▪
Unscrew the two bolts ( A ) at the centre of the
drive reduction gears by means of a 10 mm
wrench for hexagonal head (the 2 wheel drive
machines have 2 drive reduction gears; the 4
wheel drive machines have 4 drive reduction
gears) and slide the cover (
B ) of the reduction
gears along the slots; then, remove the pin ( C ) at
the centre of the drive reduction gears.
▪
Reposition the pin into the seats of the reduction
gears in the reverse order.
▪ Place the cover again and tighten the bolts.
▪
Tow at a very slow speed (remember that when
the machine is being towed, brakes are out of
order).

WARNING! THIS OPERATION MAY CAUSE OIL LEAKAGE FROM THE DRIVE REDUCTION GEARS.
To resume the normal operation, set back the machine to initial conditions and, if necessary, top up the oil level inside the drive
reduction gears.
Tow at a very slow speed (remember that when the machine is being towed, brakes are out of order).
Tow only on a flat ground.
Do not park the machine without brakes on. Should the brakes be completely out of order put
wedges under the wheels to prevent the machine from moving accidentally.
