Important
If the machine will be left unattended,
close the fuel shut off valve and disconnect the wire(s)
from the spark plug(s).
Caution
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the machine while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set parking
brake when leaving the machine unattended, even
if just for a few minutes.
Pushing the Machine by Hand
The by–pass valve also allows the machine to be pushed
by hand with the engine not running for easier servicing.
If the by–pass valve is opened to push the machine by
hand, adjustment is required for operation.
Important
Always push the machine by hand. Never
tow the machine because hydraulic damage may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to "OFF" to stop the engine.
2. Loosen jam nuts and rotate by-pass valves open 5 turns
to push. This allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the
pump and the wheels to turn (Fig. 15).
Important
Rotate by-pass valve a maximum of 5 turns
so the valve does not come out of the body causing fluid
to run out.
To Operate the Machine
If the by–pass valve is opened to push the machine by
hand, adjustment is required for operation. Refer to:
"Adjusting By-pass Valve" on page 32.
.
Note: The machine will not drive unless by-pass valves
are properly adjusted.

straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
Secure a trailer to towing vehicle with safety chains.
