Attach the towing device and machine before you release the brakes.
If the engine is running, the machine can be towed for a short distance
under certain conditions. The power train and steering system must be
operable.
The operator must steer the machine that is towed in the direction of
the tow line.
Ensure that all instructions in this section are followed carefully.
When the engine is stopped, additional steps may be required before
the machine is towed. In order to avoid damaging the power train, the
steering system, and the brakes, which may be inoperable, additional
steps may be required.
