Moving tractor with stalled engine

Should it become necessary to transport the tractor because the engine stalls and cannot be restarted:

1.The hydraulic pump is equipped with tow valves. Before towing the tractor, turn the tow valves counterclockwise four complete revolutions, using a 5/16” allen wrench. This allows the hydraulic oil to flow freely in the system. The valves are located per Fig. 3-7.

2.Move the tractor by hand or use a winch to pull it onto a transport vehicle.

3.If towing is necessary, tractor may be towed for distances up to 1/2 mile at speeds not greater than 3 mph at a time. Exceeding these limits at one time will overheat the hydraulic system and may damage the

pumps and motors.

4.After towing, make certain the two valves are returned to their operating position. Turn them clockwise and torque to 40-50 foot pounds.

Driving the tractor

Only one hand is required to control speed and direction of the tractor, in most conditions (Fig. 3-8).

DANGER: Never make sudden stops or reverse direction, especially when going down a slope. The steering is designed for sensitive response. Rapid movement of the steering lever in either direction could result in a reaction of the tractor that can cause serious injury.
