Towing the Machine
Ensure that the towing vehicle specification is suited to
braking the combined vehicle weight and able to remain in
complete control at all times. Ensure that the parking brake
of the towing vehicle is applied. Chock the mower front
wheels to prevent the mower from rolling away.
Important:
Do not tow the machine faster than 3 to
5 km/h (2 to 3 mph), otherwise internal transmission
damage may occur.

1.
Connect a
rigid
tow bar between the towing eye on the
front of the mower and a suitable towing vehicle.
2.
Identify the right front-wheel motor-disc-brake
