WARNING
The towed vehicle can be located asymmetrically (left or right)
behind the tractor. Towing may not take place at an angle larger
than 20ð with the vehicle centerline.
- To clear the towing eyes, the black grid must be removed from the lower grille by
turning the attachment screws a quarter turn.
- Always fix the tow rod with its original attachment pin (part of the vehicle tool kit)
in the towing eyes.
- Turn the ignition key so that the steering wheel is released (unless the vehicle is
in a hoist, see below).
- To prevent damage to the gearbox, the propeller shaft must always be
disconnected from the differential.
- If there is insufficient pressure in the air reservoirs, release the parking brake.
See "Releasing the parking brake".
If the differential is damaged:
- Hoist the vehicle at the rear and lock the steering wheel in the straight-ahead
position.
Tow starting
If the vehicle has to be towed to start the engine, the ignition key must first be turned
clockwise to position D of the starter/ignition switch (ignition on).
Long-distance towing
If the vehicle is to be moved over a larger distance, this must be done by a recovery
vehicle that lifts the vehicle to be towed under its front axle.
