(4) Notices when towing the tractor
▶
Unexpected machine movement!
Never attempt to start the machine by towing. The machine could start
unexpectedly.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Warning
▶
Transport hazard!
Do not tow the machine on public roads. Towing could cause a safety hazard for
other vehicles using the roadway.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Warning
▶
Hazard to bystanders!
Do not use cables or rope to tow the machine. If the cable or rope breaks or slips,
it may whip back with enough force to cause serious injury. When using a chain,
attach the chain with the hook's open side facing UP. If the hook slips, it will drop
down instead of flying up.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Warning
Check the horizontal and vertical permissible load of the hitch (or drawbar), and total weight of the
towed vehicle before towing. (
See chapter 4-5-(3). “Hitch and Drawbar” in this manual.
)
Make sure to install the towing pins and locking pins after connecting the chain.
Tow the tractor slowly in a longitudinal straight line.
If your tractor needs to be towed for a short
distance, use the hitch (or drawbar) or front
towing hook. Do not connect to the other
structure such as rear axle, ROPS, front axle,
and steering components for towing. These
components could be damaged by the chain or
by excessive strain.
Your tractor can be steered for a short distance
without engine running, but it will be hard to turn
the steering wheel. If possible, run the engine
for steering and lubrication.
When being towed, disengage the followings;
- Front wheel drive (4WD)
- Differential lock
- Parking brake,
and place all the transmission gear levers in the
neutral position.
▶
If it is necessary to tow the tractor, all the transmission gear levers must be moved
to their neutral positions before stopping the engine. Otherwise, it can cause
damage to the transmission components during towing.
