Towing The Mower
Towing procedure:
Connect a rigid tow bar between the towing eye on
the mower and a suitable towing vehicle. Ensure
that the towing vehicle specification is suited to
braking the combined vehicle weight to rest whilst
effecting complete control at all times. Ensure
that the towing vehicle's parking brake is applied.
Chock the mower front wheels to prevent the
mower rolling away.
De-commission the front wheel motor disc brakes
as follows :-
1. Identify the right hand front wheel motor disc
brake assembly and remove the rubber plug
(item 2). Position a M12 x 40mm long setscrew
(item 5) with washer (item 4) through the brake
release bar (item 3) and into the hole in the
centre of the motor end plate. Tighten the set
screw (item 5) into the threaded hole in the
brake piston until the brake is released.
2. Identify the left hand front wheel motor disc
brake assembly and repeat the previous
procedure.
De-commission the hydraulic service braking
system as follows:-
Open the transmission bypass valve situated as
shown on top of the transmission pump. The valve
is fully open at 3 anti-clockwise revolutions. Do
not open the valve past 3 revolutions.
The steering must be operated manually when the
mower is being towed. The steering will feel heavy
as there is no hydraulic assistance when the engine
is switched off.
The mower is now in a freewheel condition and
can be towed for a short distance at slow speed.
Remove wheel chocks before towing.
After towing the mower:
To return the mower to its normal working
condition the following procedure must be adopted.
Chock the front wheels and re-commission the
hydraulic service braking system as follows :-
1. Close the transmission bypass valve. Turn
clockwise and tighten to a torque of 48 Nm
(30 lbf.ft) - 52 Nm (38 lbf.ft).
