Towing ProcedureThe park brake is ON whenever the engine is not running or the transmission system is non-functional. The park brake must be OFF to tow the machine.
IMPORTANT: Engine cannot be started by towing. Tow machine off-road to the nearest location where repair work can be done. Limit tow to 450 m (500 yd) maximum. Never tow machine faster than 3.2 km/hr (2 mph). Haul the machine if it must be moved farther than 450 m (500 yd). IMPORTANT: Do not allow an operator on the machine being towed unless the operator can control the steering and brakes. 1. Place blocks at front and rear of tires. Connect the towed and towing machines together with chains. Machines should be as close together as safely possible, such as blade to blade.2. Start engine, if possible. 3. Move transmission control lever from PARK position "P" to NEUTRAL position "N". 4. If park brake indicator does not light, the park brake is OFF. Go to step 16. If park brake indicator lights, the park brake is ON. 5. Stop engine. If a hand-operated hydraulic pump filled with hydraulic oil is not available, go to step 15. |
CAUTION:
Prevent possible injury from unexpected machine movement. Place blocks at front and rear of tires to prevent machine from rolling.

7.
Disconnect park brake hose (B) from park brake and differential lock valve fitting (C).
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the relief fitting that faces down and has a hole in it. This is a relief valve which will leak oil if park brake is pumped above maximum pressure. 8. Remove cap (E) from manual park brake release fitting (D) and install cap on park brake and differential lock valve fitting. 9. Connect park brake hose to manual park brake release fitting. |

12.
Put hand-operated hydraulic pump (J) on left side of operator's station floor and connect to manual park brake release fitting.
NOTE: Keep hand-operated hydraulic pump filled with oil.
When towing the machine, maintain between 1551 kPa (15.5 bar) (225 psi) and 1724 kPa (17.2 bar) (250 psi). If pressure is below 1379 kPa (13.8 bar) (200 psi), park brake may engage. The park brake will engage at approximately 1379 kPa (13.8 bar) (200 psi). 13. Pump handle (K) until gauge needle (L) indicates 1724 kPa (17.2 bar) (250 psi). NOTE: Depending on condition of machine, it may be necessary to periodically pump the handle to maintain hydraulic pressure. 14. Start engine, if possible, to aid in steering and brake operation while being towed. Go to step 16.
15. Remove drive shafts if a hand-operated hydraulic pump is not available to release park brake. Disconnect drive shafts at differential and transmission and remove shafts from machine. Push transmission yokes firmly into transmission housing after drive shafts have been removed. 16. Remove blocks and tow machine slowly. |
