TOWING
Ensure the paver is on level ground
and blocked to prevent machine from moving while
preparing for towing. Be especially careful after
disconnecting the torque hub as the paver could roll.
While it is strongly recommended that the paver be
transported rather than towed, there are situations
where you may need to tow the paver off the road until
a transport vehicle arrives. Do not tow paver long
distances.
You must disconnect the torque hub to prepare the
machine for towing as follows:
1. Using a wrench, loosen one of the two bolts on the
torque hub cap, then remove the other bolt and
retain for next step. (Figure 4-80)

2. Slide cap over and insert retained bolt into the
center of the hub. (Figure 4-81) This allows you to
pull the release mechanism out, which disconnects
the torque hub.
Figure 4-81.
Be sure to push release mechanism
back into place and reinstall/tighten bolts on cap
when nished moving the paver.
