as recommended by trailer
manufacturer.
Step 5: Lower rear stabilizer and drill
rack frame until firmly in
contact with trailer deck.
Step 6: Follow “Shutdown Procedure,” page 50-3.

RETRIEVAL
The following procedures are intended to be used when towing a machine which has become mired or disabled.
Connect tow chain/cable to the front tie-down ring (3).
IMPORTANT: Disengage park brakes and bypass ground drive pump to allow hydraulic fluid to circulate.
Contact your Vermeer dealer for instructions.
IMPORTANT: Towing device (chain, cable, or strap) must have a minimum working load of 6000 lb (2700 kg).
IMPORTANT: Do not tow machine more than 500 ft (150 m), and do not exceed 1 mph (1.5 km/h).
WARNING: Do not attempt to steer machine while its weight is balanced on the
end of the trailer. Slight steering changes may cause the machine to turn abruptly
and slide back down the loading ramps. Serious injury or death can occur if
crushed by the machine.
