Pushing the Machine by Hand
The by-pass valves allow the machine to be pushed by
hand without the engine running.
Important: Always push the machine by hand.
Never tow the machine because hydraulic damage
may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control
levers to the neutral locked position and set the
parking brake.
2. Open the by-pass valve on both pumps by turning
them counter clockwise 1 to 2 turns. This allows
hydraulic fluid to by-pass the pumps and the wheels
to turn (Figure 9).
Note: Rotate the by-pass valves a maximum of 2
turns so the valve does not come out of the body
causing fluid to run out.
