Transporting Machine


Towing the Machine

IMPORTANT: Never tow the vehicle above 40 km/h (25 mph). Towing a vehicle at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph) will result in transaxle damage.

To avoid damage, haul the vehicle in an enclosed trailer. If an open trailer must be used, haul on a heavy-duty trailer or on a full-size truck. Be cautious and travel at reduced speeds.

Optional accessories, such as a windshield, should be removed to avoid sudden unintentional separation from the vehicle.

Never use a car type dolly with the front wheels on the dolly.

Unlock park brake and keep machine transaxle shift lever in N (Neutral) position for towing.
