Jacking Points; Tie Downs; Operating Characteristics - Toro 30412 Groundsmaster 4000-D Operator's Manual

Do not push or tow the machine for more than 1/4
mile (0.4 km).
Important: Do not push or tow the machine
faster than 2-3 MPH (3-4.8 km/h) because internal
transmission damage may occur. The bypass valve
must be open whenever the machine is pushed or
towed.
1. Raise the seat and remove the battery cover. The
bypass valve is located in front of the battery
(Figure 28).
2. Rotate the valve 1/4 turn in either direction to open
and allow oil to bypass internally. Because fluid is
bypassed, the machine can be slowly moved without
damaging the transmission. Note the position of
the valve when opening or closing.
3. Close the bypass valve before starting the engine.
However, do not exceed 5 to 8 ft-lb (7 to 11 N⋅m)
torque to close the valve.

Important: If the machine must to be
pushed or towed in reverse, the check valve
in the four-wheel drive manifold must also be
bypassed. To bypass the check valve, connect
a hose assembly (Hose Part No. 95-8843,
Coupler Fitting No. 95-0985 [Qty. 2], and
Hydraulic Fitting No. 340-77 [Qty. 2]) to the
reverse traction pressure test port (Figure 29)
and the reverse four-wheel drive pressure port
(Figure 30).

Jacking Points

There are jacking points located at the front and rear
of the machine.
• On the frame at the inside of each front drive tire
• At the center of the rear axle

Tie Downs

There are tie downs located at the front, rear and sides
of the machine.
• On each side of the frame by the side cutting unit
lift arms
• Front center of the operator's platform
• The rear bumper

Operating Characteristics

Practice driving the machine because it has a hydrostatic
transmission and its characteristics are different than
many turf maintenance machines. Some points to
consider when operating the traction unit, cutting
unit, or other implements are the transmission, engine
