Towing Traction Unit
IMPORTANT: If towing limits are exceeded, severe
damage to the piston (traction) pump may occur.
If it becomes necessary to tow or push the machine,
move machine in a forward direction at a speed below
2
mph (3.2 kph), and for a very short distance. If the ma-
chine needs to be moved more than 1/4 mile (0.4 km),
machine should be transported on a trailer. The piston
(traction) pump is equipped with two (2) bypass valves
that must be opened for towing or pushing (Fig. 2).

IMPORTANT: If the machine must be pushed or
towed in a reverse direction, the check valve in the

this check valve, connect a hydraulic hose between
the traction pump reverse pressure test port (MA)
and the 4WD control manifold test port (G2) (Fig. 3).

If towing the machine is necessary, use the following
procedure:
1.
2.
Locate bypass valves on the traction pump (Fig. 2).
Open both bypass valves in traction pump:
A. Loosen the jam nut on bypass valve stem.
B. Thread bypass valve stem in six (6) turns.
C. Tighten the jam nut.

Tow or push machine in a forward direction as re-

above.
IMPORTANT: Using the tow option bypasses the
high pressure relief valves. Catastrophic compo-
nent damage can occur if hydraulic traction circuit
empties or overheats.
4.
After moving machine, close both bypass valves:
A. Loosen the jam nut on bypass valve stem.
B. Thread bypass valve stem all the way out. Do not
exceed 8 ft--lb (11 N--m) torque to close bypass
valve.
C. Tighten jam nut to secure bypass valve.
