TOWING/RETRIEVING MACHINE
The following procedures are intended to be used when towing a machine that has been disabled. Use
these instructions for emergency situations only.
•Use a towing machine with sufficient power, weight, and braking capacity to maintain control of
the disabled machine. The towing machine should be at least as large as the disabled machine.
•If retrieving on a downhill grade, use a second machine on the opposite end of the disabled
machine to prevent the disabled machine from overrunning the towing machine.
•Provide barriers to prevent injury to machine operator if tow device fails. Keep anyone on the
ground away at least two times the length of the tow device.
•Tow device (chain, cable, or strap) must have a minimum working load of 150% of towing
machine weight.
•Never try to jerk the disabled machine in order to get the machine to move. Sudden overload may
cause tow device failure.
•Never tow a disabled machine farther than is required to locate the machine out of traffic and to
where repairs can be performed safely.
1. Securely chock front and rear wheels to prevent
machine from moving.
2. Bypass ground drive pump. There are two
multifunction cartridge valves (1) on the ground
drive pump.
3. Hold the cartridge (2) with a 1-1/4” wrench. Open
the bypass valves (3) using a 1-1/16” wrench.
Turn both of the valves out 3 turns CCW.
WARNING
Runover possible. Machine can crush. Machine will freewheel with the
ground drive pump bypassed or brakes released.
Securely chock wheels to keep machine from moving before bypassing
