5.11 TOWING / TRAILERING _____________________________________________________
If the tractor experiences problems and must be shut down
and removed from the area, it should be loaded onto a trailer
for transport. If a trailer is not available, the unit can be
towed slowly short distances.
Use care when loading and unloading tractor. Fasten tractor
to trailer to prevent tractor from rolling or shifting during
transport.
Long Distance Trailering / Transport.
If the tractor is to
be trailered on the highway, before strapping to trailer,
close fuel shut off valve and inflate tires maximum
pressure listed on side of tire. Reduce tire pressure to
normal after removing from trailer.
Before towing, open tow valve. The tow valve permits
moving the tractor without starting the engine and prevents
possible damage to hydraulic components.
The tow valve
(A)
is located on the hydraulic drive pump
beneath the operators seat. Remove cover from floor in front
of operator’s seat. To open valve, use a wrench or insert a
pin or small screw driver into the small hole in the valve
stem. Turn the valve counterclockwise one full turn.
Before towing make sure cutting units are raised. If they
cannot be raised, remove them from the tractor.
Close valve completely and replace cover after towing.
NOTE:
Do not exceed 2 MPH (3.2 KPH) while towing. Long
distance towing is not recommended
.
