Towing instructions

If your tractor can not drive on its own power because of damage, it can be towed. Use the trailer coupling or the front upper link bracket on the cabin for towing.

DANGER

The towing tractor must have sufficient trac- tive and braking force for the towed load with- out brakes.

- The towed load must not exceed the allowed maxi- mum total weight.

The total weight of the tractor is given on the identifi- cation plate and in the tables of weights in the techni- cal data.

-Attach the towing device (only a rigid tow bar in case of a brake malfunction) to the trailer coupling (1).

-Turn on the ignition.

-Turn off the parking brake switch.

-Set the direction switch to the centre position (no direction of travel selected).

-Turn the speed range knob to the zero position (centre position).

-Let the engine run so that the power steering is in operation.

CAUTION

If the engine is not running during towing or if the hydraulic system has failed, steering will be difficult. Increased steering effort will be required in this case.

-Tow the tractor at 10 km/h maximum to the nearest service centre.

-Park the tractor and secure it against rolling.
