PUSHING, TOWING, AND TRANSPORTING
THE MACHINE
PUSHING OR TOWING THE MACHINE
If the machine becomes disabled, it can be
pushed from the front or rear, but only towed from
the rear.
The propelling pump has a bypass valve to
prevent damage to the hydraulic system when the
machine is being pushed or towed. This valve
allows a disabled machine to be moved for a
very
short distance
and at a speed to not exceed 1.6
kp/h (1 mph). The machine is NOT intended to be
pushed or towed a long distance or at a high
speed.
ATTENTION! Do not push or tow machine for
a long distance and without using the bypass
valve, or the machine hydraulic system may
be damaged.
Turn the bypass valve 90
_
from the normal
position before pushing or towing the machine.
The illustration shows the bypass valve in the
pushing or towing position.
Return the bypass valve to the normal position
when through pushing or towing the machine
.
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
1. Position the machine at the loading edge of
the truck or trailer.
FOR SAFETY: When loading machine onto
truck or trailer, empty hopper before loading
machine. Do not load/unload on ramp inclines
that exceed 25% grade.
2. If the loading surface is not horizontal or is
higher than 380 mm (15 in) from the ground,
use a winch to load machine.
If the loading surface is horizontal AND is 380
mm (15 in) or less from the ground, the
machine may be driven onto the truck or
trailer.
3. To winch the machine onto the truck or trailer,
attach the winching chains to the rear tie
down locations. The rear tie-down locations
are the holes in the sides of the machine
frame near the rear bumper.
