Recovery

Holes are provided on the rear of the frame in the event it is
necessary to tow the machine. The machine can only be towed at a
slow speed over a short distance with the engine off and brakes
released.
Block the machine so it cannot move. Once the brakes are
released there will be nothing holding the machine in place.
Be especially careful on slopes.
Tow the machine at SLOW speeds over SHORT distances
only. Damage to the hydrostatic drive system may
otherwise result. Tow the machine with the engine OFF and
brakes released.
Spring applied brakes are built-into each hydraulic drive motor
assembly. Whenever the engine is off, the brakes are automatically
applied. If the engine will not start and towing is necessary, the
brakes must be manually released.
A hydraulic wheel motor is located on each side to drive the track.
The brakes inside of each wheel motor are applied when there is a
lack of hydraulic oil pressure. In an emergency situation, the brakes
can be manually released.
