3.18 TOWING

The machine is equipped with permanent hydrostatic drive and a negative brake with

hydraulic cylinder on the rear axle, and it can be towed only after putting the rear drive

wheels in neutral.

3.18.1 Disengaging the parking brakes

 Place the wheel chocks supplied with the machine or connect to a suitable tractor with

a rigid bar.

 Use an Allen wrench to work on the rear differential axle to disengage the parking

brakes:

 Remove the set screws on both sides of the central axle housing (1).

 Tighten in sequence (A,B,C) the brake release screws (3) 1/2 turn at a time until the

load torque decreases sharply (4-5 turns) (FIG.1).

 When the parking brake is disengaged, loosen by three turns the two valves of the

drive pump (the second starting from the diesel engine) (A) to allow the bypass and

make it possible for the machine to be moved without the pump and the drive motor

rotating (FIG. 2).
