Towing the Sprayer

In case of an emergency, the sprayer can be towed for a
short distance after you open the tow valve. However, we
do not recommend this as a standard procedure.
Warning
Towing at excessive speeds could cause a loss of
steering control, resulting in personal injury.
Never tow the sprayer faster than 3 mph (4.8 kph).
Towing the sprayer is a 2-person job. If you must move the
machine a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or a
trailer; refer to Transporting the sprayer on page 20.
