(5) Notices when towing the tractor
(6) Notices when transporting the tractor
When transporting the tractor by truck, trailer,
etc., use suitable equipment or facilities to
load or unload the tractor.
Fix the tractor tightly to the vehicle with heavy-
duty straps or chains.
When fixing the rear of the tractor, use the hitch
or hitch support.
When fixing the front of the tractor, use the
towing hook.
When driving on public roads, the transporting
vehicle must have signs and lights required by
local regulation to avoid collision with a vehicle.
▶
When fixing the tractor, do not hook or connect chains to the 4WD shaft, steering
cylinder, tie-rod or front axle. These can be damaged by the chain or excessive
strain.
▶
In case of turbocharger engine (where fitted), cover the exhaust outlet to protect
that the turbocharger does not rotate by air without lubrication.
Caution
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.
Never attempt to start the machine by towing. The machine could start unexpectedly.
Do not tow the machine on public roads. Towing could cause a safety hazard for other vehicles
using the roadway.
For further information, see chapter 4-4-(4) in this manual.
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.
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 4WD,
differential lock, parking brake and place all the
transmission gear levers in the neutral position.
