Pushing the Machine by Hand

IMPORTANT: Always push the machine by
hand. Never tow the machine because
hydraulic damage may occur.
To Push the Machine

ignition key to "OFF" to stop the engine. Move

turn to push. This allows hydraulic fluid to
by-pass the pump enabling the wheels to turn

maximum of 2 turns so the valves do not
come out of the body causing fluid to run out.
3. Disengage parking brake before pushing.
To Operate the Machine

operate machine (Fig. 15).
Note: The machine will not drive unless
