Towing the Tractor

LX1029218-UN-11APR03

CAUTION: Never tow the tractor at a speed greater than 10 km/h (6 mph).

When the engine is not running, more force is required to turn the steering wheel and pedal travel is longer (no hydraulic assistance).

Shift both range and reverser levers to neutral position.

Make sure that the transmission oil level is between the marks on the sight-glass. If the tractor is to be towed with the front wheels raised, observe the following points:

• Never raise the wheels more than 30 cm (12 in.).
• For every 15 cm (6 in.) that the front wheels are raised, add 4 liters (1 U.S. gal.) of transmission/hydraulic oil to the transmission.
• When towing is completed, drain the excess oil.

IMPORTANT: If the engine is capable of running, switch off front-wheel drive. If the engine is not capable of running, disconnect universal-jointed drive shaft by taking out screws (A). This prevents excessive wear on the tires.
