Pushing or Towing the Traction Unit

Groundsmaster ® 4300-D

Check the hydraulic-fluid level daily.
In case of emergency, the machine can be pushed for a very short distance.
However, Toro does not recommend this as a standard procedure.
1. Ensure that the engine is not running.
2. Find the bypass valve on the piston (traction) pump
valve (rotate them counterclockwise) 1 to 2 turns.
Pushing the machine faster than 2 to 3 mph can damage the drive
system. If you must move the machine a considerable distance
(more than a few feet), transport it on a truck or trailer.
3. Slowly push or tow the machine.
Do not start the engine when the bypass valve is open or piston
(traction) pump damage will occur.
4. Before you start the engine, tighten the valve to close it; torque the valves to
7 to 9 N∙m (62 to 79 in-lb).
