Retrieval
It is not recommended to tow a disabled machine. Permanent damage to the drive motors of the disabled
machine may occur if the machine is towed.
If the machine becomes disabled, the machine should be made safe, lifted onto a transporter and moved to a
location where is can be repaired. Refer to: General (Page 60).
In the event that towing the machine to a safe location is unavoidable follow the procedure given.
Notice: Towing a machine too far or too fast can damage the transmission. When towing prepare the machine
as described. Failure to comply will result in lack of lubrication and seizure of the transmission motor and pump.
For distances greater than one mile, transport the machine on a suitable vehicle. Refer to: Loading the Machine
onto the Transporting Vehicle/Trailer (Page 62).
The machine must have the mechanical brake deactivated before towing. After the machine has been towed
the brake must be reactivated.
