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) in a forward direction only, at a speed
below 3 mph (4.8 kph), and for a distance less than 1/4
mile (0.4 km). The piston (traction) pump is equipped
with a by--pass valve that needs to be turned 90
ing.
See Traction Unit Operator's Manual for additional tow-
ing procedures.
Check Hydraulic Fluid
The Groundsmaster 4500--D and 4700--D hydraulic
systems are designed to operate on anti--wear hydraulic
fluid. The reservoir holds about 7.5 gallons (28.4 liters)
of hydraulic fluid. Check level of hydraulic fluid daily.
See Traction Unit Operator's Manual for fluid level
checking procedure and oil recommendations.
