transport. Air springs will automatically raise
the sweeper when the sweeper is switched to
transport mode, provided there is air pressure.

ance. If necessary, chain up or remove the cen-
terboard, dirt shoes and any other component
that might be too low to the ground.
5. Block the wheels.
6. Disconnect the propeller shaft at the rear axle,
and secure the shaft to the frame or a cross
member.
7. If damage to the rear axle is suspected, remove
the axle shafts and cover hub openings to pre-
vent dirt contamination or loss of lubricant.
8. Connect the towing vehicle to a main structural
part of the sweeper. Do not connect to a
bumper. Use tow bar and safety chain system.
9. Unblock the wheels.
NOTICE
If the sweeper has air brakes and the air supply has
been exhausted, the brakes will lock and will need
to be released.
After towing is completed, proceed as follows:
1. Block the wheels securely BEFORE disconnect-
ing the sweeper from the towing vehicle.
2. Install the propeller shaft.
3. If axle shafts were removed before towing,
uncover hub openings and install the axle
shafts.
4. Check for proper phasing of the universal
joints.
5. Check sweeper position to make sure it will not
roll and unblock the wheels.
