■ Optional Tow Kit
The aerial platform may be towed using the
optional tow kit. The tow vehicle must be capable of
safely towing and stopping a machine with the
weight of the aerial platform.
The aerial platform is free to move when the
drive hubs are disabled. Death or serious
injury can result. Securely fasten the tow
vehicle to the aerial platform before
disabling the drive hubs.
Use the following procedure to manually
disengage the drive hubs and tow the machine.
1. With the machine in the stowed position,
remove the tow bar from the storage cradle
and lay it in front of the chassis (see Figure
11.1).
Figure 11.1 Towbar Storage Cradle
2. Rotate the turntable, until the counterweight
is to the side of the chassis, to allow room to
attach the tow kit.
Pinch points may exist between machine
components. Death or serious injury can
result from becoming trapped between
components. Do not attach the tow kit to the
tow vehicle until the counterweight is to the
side of the chassis.
3. Attach the tow bar to the front axle clevis
joint with the tow pin and snap pin (see
Figure 11.2).
Figure 11.2 - Towbar
4. Attach the tow bar to the tow vehicle.
5. Rotate the turntable so the counterweight is
back at the front of the chassis. Raise the
platform about 3¢ (1 m) above the ground.
6. Shut the engine off and turn the battery
disconnect switch off.
7. Locate the steer float valve (refer to Figure
11.3) Open by turning knob anticlockwise
fully.
