Towing Traction Unit
IMPORTANT: If towing limits are exceeded, severe
damage to the hydrostatic transmission may occur.
If it becomes necessary to tow the machine, tow it for-
ward only and at a speed below 3 mph.
IMPORTANT: If drive shaft is not removed before
towing, the transmission input shaft will not be able
to rotate, thus not allowing the transmission to
maintain its internal lubrication. Severe damage to
the hydrostatic transmission may occur.
1. Loosen and remove capscrews securing the drive
shaft to the engine drive coupler. Loosen capscrews
clamping drive shaft to transmission (Fig. 6). Remove
drive shaft.
2. Attach a suitable chain, strap or cable to the center
of the front frame member (Fig. 7).
IMPORTANT: Lock both brake pedals together be-
fore towing.
3. Attach the other end of the towing device to a vehicle
that is capable of towing the machine safely and at
speeds below 3 mph.
4. An operator must be on the machine to steer it and
keep the traction pedal fully depressed in the forward
position while towing.
5. When towing is completed, reinstall driveshaft. The
splines are designed to allow assembly only when the
two halves of the shaft are properly oriented (Fig. 6).
