Pushing The Machine By Hand - Toro 74643 Operator's Manual

Pushing the Machine by Hand

Important: Always push the machine by hand. Do not
tow the machine, because damage may occur.
This machine has an electric-brake mechanism, and to push
the machine, the ignition key needs to be in the Run position.
The battery needs to be charged and functioning for the
electric brake to be disengage.
Pushing the Machine
1. Park the machine on a level surface, and disengage the
blade-control switch.
2. Move the motion-control levers outward to the park
position, stop the engine, and wait for all moving parts
to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Locate the bypass levers on the frame on both sides of
the engine.
4. Move the bypass levers forward through the key hole
and down to lock them in place (Figure 24).
Note: Ensure this is done for each lever.
5. Move the motion-control levers inward to the neutral
position and turn the ignition key to the Run position.
Note: Do not start the machine.
Note: You can now push the machine by hand.

position to avoid draining the battery charge.
Note: If the machine fails to move, the electric brake may
still be engaged. If necessary, the electric brake can release
manually; refer to Releasing the Electric Brake (page 32).
