TOWING THE MOWER

Continued.

 

 

De-commission the hydraulic service braking system as follows:-

i)Open the 2 transmission relief valves A and B situated on the transmission pump. The valves are fully open at 2 anticlockwise revolutions. Do not open the valves past 2 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 free wheel 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 :-

i)Close the 2 transmission relief valves. Turn clockwise and tighten to a torque of 41- 68 Nm.

Re-commission the front wheel motor disc brakes as follows :-

i)Identify the right hand front wheel motor disc brake assembly. Rotate the setscrew (item 5) anti-clockwise and remove together with Washer (item 4) and brake release bar (item 3). Reassemble the rubber plug (item 2) into the motor end plate.

ii)Identify the left hand front wheel motor disc brake assembly and repeat the previous procedure.

Store the brake release bars, washers and setscrews (items 3, 4 and 5) for future use.

Remove the wheel chocks.

Disconnect the tow bar.

The mower braking system will now operate in the normal way.
