Pushing Or Towing The Machine; Hauling The Machine - Toro Reelmaster 5510-D Operator's Manual

Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, you can move the machine
by actuating the bypass valve in the variable
displacement hydraulic pump and pushing or towing
the machine.
Important:
Do not push or tow the machine faster
than 3 to 4.8 km/h (2 to 3 mph) because internal
transmission damage may occur. The bypass
valve must be open whenever you push or tow
the machine.
1. Rotate the bypass-valve bolt 1-1/2 turns to open
and allow oil to bypass internally
Note:
The bypass valve is located on the left
side of the hydrostat. By bypassing the fluid, you
can move the machine slowly without damaging
the transmission.

2. Close the bypass valve before starting the
engine. However, do not exceed 7 to 11 N∙m (5
to 8 ft-lb) torque to close the valve.
Important:
Running the engine with the
bypass valve open causes the transmission
to overheat.
