Towing Traction Unit

In case of emergency, the Groundsmaster 3500--D can
be towed for a short distance. However, Toro does not
recommend this as a standard procedure.
1. Locate by--pass valve on hydrostat pump (Fig. 6)
o
and rotate it 90 to open the by--pass valve. This open
position should be horizontal (Fig. 7).
IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than 2 to
3 mph because the drive system may be damaged. If
machine must be moved a considerable distance (more
than a few feet), transport it on a truck or trailer.
2. Slowly tow machine.
3. Before starting engine, close by--pass valve by rotat-
o
ing it 90 . This closed position should be vertical (Fig. 7).
Do not start engine when by--pass valve is open.
