TOWING THE MACHINE
If your machine is disabled, you must make a judgment if the machine can be moved without further damage. If possible, repair the machine at the job location. If you cannot repair the machine at the job location and if you have a transport trailer, park the trailer as close as possible to the machine (see Transporting the Machine in this manual). If you must tow the machine, read the following recommendations and use caution.
1.Attach a rigid drawbar to the machine.
2.If the machine is to be towed more than 1/2 mile (0.8 km) you must disconnect the front and rear drive shafts.
3.Connect a second machine to the rear of the disabled machine as close as possible. This second machine is used to help stop the disabled machine.
4.Tow the disabled machine at a maximum speed of 5 mph (8 km/h). TRIM THIS EDGE
