Stopping The Machine; Pushing The Machine By Hand; Transporting The Machine - Toro 74534 Operator's Manual

Stopping the Machine

To stop the machine, move the motion-control levers to
neutral, move the right side motion-control lever into the
neutral-lock position, disengage the power take off (PTO),
and turn the ignition key to off.
Set the parking brake when you leave the machine; refer to
Setting the Parking Brake (page
the key from the ignition switch.
CAUTION
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the parking
brake when leaving the machine unattended, even
if just for a few minutes.

Pushing the Machine by Hand

The bypass 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.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to
the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake.
2. Lower the mower deck to the lowest height-of-cut
(HOC).
Note: This will allow access to the bypass valves.
3. Open the bypass valve on both pumps by turning them
counterclockwise 1 to 2 turns
Note: This allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the
pumps and the wheels to turn.
Note: Rotate the bypass valves a maximum of 2 turns
so the valve does not come out of the body causing
fluid to run out.
