Towing the Loader

Do not use the loader for towing (other

vehicles, trailers, equipment, etc.).

Important: The machine cannot be tow-started because there is no direct

mechanical connection between the wheels and the engine. Attempting to tow-

start the machine may damage the drive system.

Precautions

Only tow the loader if the steering and brakes are functional, if it cannot be

repaired on-site, and if it cannot be transported using any other method. Only tow

the loader until it is moved to a location where it can be safely repaired.

Important: If moving the loader more than a few hundred meters, use a flatbed

truck or similar vehicle to transport the loader, to prevent overheating the

hydraulic system. See “Loading and Transporting” on page 97.

Machines

Preparation

1. Perform the “Mandatory Safety Shut-

down Procedure” on page 10.

2. Tilt up the operator’s platform. See

“Tilting Up the Platform” on page 107.

3. Loosen the hydraulic system bypass

valve (D, Fig. 58) one to two turns.

Do not loosen the bypass valve bolts more

than one to two turns. The bypass valve can

come out of the pump, resulting in a rapid loss of hydraulic fluid.

“Tilting the Platform Down” on page 108.
