Towing Bypass Valve
The drive circuit is equipped with a towing valve (43) to allow oil to bypass the drive motors and let
the roller freewheel for towing.
The towing valve should be used in emergency cases where the machine has become bogged
down in loose or muddy soil, or cannot be driven due to an engine or hydraulic system failure.
WARNING
With the towing valve open, the drive circuit has no braking action and
the machine will roll freely.
Apply the brake or attach the towing device before opening the
towing valve.
Close the towing valve immediately after the towing operation is
complete to prevent the machine from rolling unexpectedly.
Procedure
1. To open the bypass, shut the engine off and rotate the shaft on the towing valve
counter-clockwise.
2. To close the bypass, rotate the shaft on the towing valve clockwise.
