Instructions for Towing
If your tractor can not drive on its own power because it is
damaged, it can be towed. Use the upper link support at the
front at the driver's cab for towing.
DANGER: The towing tractor must have
sufficient tractive and braking force for the
towed load without brakes.
-
The towed load must not exceed the permissible total
weight.
The total weight of the vehicle is given on the identifi-
cation plate or in the tables of weights in the technical
data.
-
Attach the towing device (in case of failure of the
brake only a rigid tow bar) to the upper link support
(1).
-
Set the forward/reverse selector lever to the centre
position (no direction of travel selected).
-
Shift the gear and range selector lever to neutral
(gearbox).
-
Set the driving range pre-selection lever to position 0
(hydrostatic drive).
-
Let the engine run so that the power steering is
operational.
CAUTION : If the engine is not running during
towing or the hydraulic system has failed,
steering is difficult. Increased effort is
required for steering in this case.
-
Tow the tractor at a maximum of 10 km/h to the
nearest authorized workshop.
-
Park the tractor secured against rolling.
