Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, you can move the machine a very
short distance by actuating the bypass valve in the
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). If you push
or tow at a faster speed, internal transmission
damage may occur. If you must move the machine
a considerable distance, transport it on a truck
or trailer.
Important:
The bypass valve must be open
whenever you push or tow the machine. Close
the valve once you have pushed or towed the
machine to the desired location.
