Pushing The Machine By Hand; Transporting Machines - Toro 74280TE Operator's Manual

Pushing the Machine by
Hand
Important: Always push the machine
by hand. Never tow the machine because
hydraulic damage may occur.
Pushing the Machine
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and
turn the ignition key to off. Move the levers
to neutral locked position and apply parking
brake. Remove the key.
2. Rotate the by-pass valves counterclockwise
1 turn to push. This allows hydraulic fluid to
by-pass the pump enabling the wheels to turn
(Figure 25).
Important: Do not rotate by-pass valves
more than 1 turn. This prevents valves
from coming out of the body and causing
fluid to run out.
3. Disengage parking brake before pushing.
Changing to Machine Operation
Rotate the by-pass valves clockwise 1 turn to
operate machine (Figure 25).
Note: Do not over tighten the by-pass valves.
The machine will not drive unless by-pass valves
are turned in.
