Pushing Or Towing Traction Unit - Toro Reelmaster 6500–D Service Manual

Pushing or Towing Traction Unit

In an emergency, the Reelmaster 6500–D can be
1
moved by actuating the by–pass valve in the variable
displacement hydraulic pump and pushing or towing the
machine.
IMPORTANT: Do not push or tow the machine faster
than 2–3 mph (3–4.8 km/hr) because internal trans-
mission damage may occur. The by–pass valve
must be open whenever the machine is pushed or
Figure 7
towed.
1. By–Pass Valve
1. By–pass valve is located on top of variable displace-
ment pump (Fig. 7). Rotate the valve 90_, in either direc-
tion, to open and allow oil to by–pass internally. Because
fluid is by–passed, the machine can be moved – slowly
– without damaging the transmission.
2. Close by–pass valve before starting the engine. How-
ever, do not exceed 5–8 ft–lb (7–11 Nm) torque to close
the valve.
IMPORTANT: Running the engine with the by–pass
valve open will cause the transmission to overheat.
