Towing Traction Unit
IMPORTANT: If towing limits are exceeded, severe
damage to the piston pump may occur.
If it becomes necessary to tow (or push) the machine,
tow (or push) at a speed below 3 mph (4.8 kph), and for
a distance less than 1/4 mile (0.4 km). The piston (trac-
tion) pump is equipped with a by–pass valve that needs
o
to be turned 90
for towing. See Traction Unit Operator's
Manual for Towing Procedures.
Check Hydraulic Fluid
The Reelmaster 2000–D hydraulic system is designed
to operate on anti–wear hydraulic fluid. The reservoir
holds about 3.3 gallons (12.5 liters) of hydraulic fluid.
Check level of hydraulic fluid daily. See Traction Unit
Operator's Manual for fluid level checking procedure
and oil recommendations.
