4.10 TOWING / TRAILERING _____________________________________________________
If the mower experiences problems and must be shut down
and removed from the area, it should be loaded onto a trailer
for transport. If a trailer is not available, the unit can be
towed slowly short distances.
A
Use care when loading and unloading mower. Fasten
mower to trailer to prevent mower from rolling or shifting
during transport.
Before towing, open tow valve. The tow valve permits
moving the mower without starting the engine and prevents
possible damage to hydraulic components.
LF006
The tow valve (A) is located on the hydraulic drive pump
beneath the operators seat. Remove cover from floor in front
of operator’s seat. To open valve, use a wrench or insert a
pin or small screw driver into the small hole in the valve
stem. Turn the valve counterclockwise one full turn.
Rotate brake release lever (B) counter clockwise. Brake
release lever is located under access panel, near right front
axle mount. Turn steering wheel for right hand turn
(clockwise) until resistance is felt.
Before towing make sure cutting units are raised. If they
cannot be raised, remove them from the mower.
Close tow valve (A) completely, rotate brake release lever
(B) clockwise, and replace cover after towing.
