Transporting Machine


Towing the Machine

Avoid damage! Never tow the vehicle above 40 km/h (25 mph). Towing a vehicle at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph) results in transmission 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, must be removed to avoid sudden unintentional separation from the vehicle.

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

  1. Check to be sure that the ignition key switch is in the STOP position.

  2. Unlock the park brake and move the transmission shift lever to the Neutral position for towing.

  3. Move the four-wheel drive control to Disengaged/Off position.
