Towing a Machine with Operable
Engine
If the steering system has no fault and the engine
can be run, an operator must steer the machine.
If the failure is in the transmission do not run the en-
gine, as the engine is directly coupled to the
transmission. Refer to Towing A Machine With Inop-
erable Engine (previous instruction).
If the failure is in the transfer case, engage neutral
and disconnect the driveshaft connecting the trans-
fer case to the front differential and the driveshaft
connecting the transfer case to the through drive.
If the fault does not affect the braking system the
brakes can be released using the park/emergency
brake hand control AFTER the wheels have been
chocked.
