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 27).
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 27).
Note: Do not over tighten the by-pass valves.
The machine will not drive unless by-pass valves are
turned in.
