OPERATION
4.10 AFTER OPERATION _______________________________________________________
1. Park the tractor on a flat, level surface. Fully lower
the implements to the ground, engage parking brake,
stop the engine and remove key from ignition switch.
2. Grease and lubricate all points if required, wash the
cutting units and tractor after each use.
Note: Do not wash a hot or running engine. Use
compressed air to clean the engine and radiator fins.
4.11 TOWING / TRAILERING _____________________________________________________
If the tractor experiences problems and must be shut
down and removed from the area, it should be loaded
onto a trailer for transport. If a trailer is not available, the
unit can be towed slowly short distances.
NOTE: Do not exceed 2 MPH (3.2 KPH) while towing.
Long distance towing is not recommended.
Use care when loading and unloading tractor. Fasten
tractor to trailer to prevent tractor from rolling or shifting
during transport.
Before towing, open tow valve. The tow valve permits
moving the tractor without starting the engine and
prevents possible damage to hydraulic components.
The tow valve (A) is located on the drive pump beneath
the operators seat. Remove cover from floor in back of
operator's seat. To open valve, use a wrench or insert a
pin or small screw driver into the small hole in the valve
stem. Turn the valve counterclockwise one full turn.
Close valve completely and replace cover after towing.
