30-8 Transporting the Machine S925TX Mini Skid Steer
Step 8: Release park brake. To release park brake, loosen jam nut ( 5 ), then loosen
setscrew ( 6 ). Push in pin ( 7 ) enough to clear sprocket teeth. Tighten
setscrew and jam nut to hold pin in released position. Grease fitting may
have to be removed.
NOTICE: Machine could roll downhill after park brake is released and chocks are
removed. If possible, ensure machine is on a stable and reasonably level surface
prior to attempting to retrieve. Proper chocking of tracks is critical to keep machine
stationary until ready to tow.
Step 9: Move towing vehicle in direction of intended travel to take up slack in
towing chain. Carefully remove wheel chocks.
Step 10: Tow disabled skid steer to a firm and level surface.
NOTICE: While towing, the ground speed of the machine must not exceed 1–2 mph
(2–3 km/h). Higher speeds will cause heat buildup which will damage the pumps and
motors.
Do not tow more than 100 ft (30 m).
Step 11: Re-engage park brake, loosen jam nut ( 5 ), then loosen setscrew ( 6 ) to free pin.
Step 12: Tighten jam nut ( 5 ) to secure setscrew ( 6 ).
• Ensure pin operates freely after jam nut ( 5 ) is tightened.
• Pin must align between sprocket teeth to engage park brake. Pin has to engage sprocket teeth by at least 5/8" (16 mm).
Step 13: Tighten bypass valves prior to returning machine to service. These valves must be fully closed after
towing for normal tractor operation. Torque bypass valves to 15–18 ft-lb (20–24.5 Nm).
NOTICE: Do not attempt to push-start the machine. Damage to ground drive pumps or motors will result if
towing instructions are not followed correctly.
