Pushing Or Towing The Machine - Toro Reelmaster 7000-D Operator's Manual

3. Loosen the switch mounting screws
and move the switch up to increase the lift-arm
turnaround height or move the switch down to
decrease the lift-arm turnaround height.
4. Tighten the mounting screws.
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 installing a
hydraulic hose to bypass the check valve, and then

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) or for more than
0.4 km (1/4 mile), because internal transmission
damage may occur. The bypass valve must be
open whenever you push or tow the machine.
Additionally, you need to install a hydraulic hose
to bypass the check valve whenever you push or
tow the machine in reverse.
If you need to push or tow your machine, you will
likely need to move it both forward and in reverse.
To ensure that the drive system does not become
damaged from pushing or towing, it is best to prepare
the machine for both forward and reverse pushing or
towing.
Preparing the Machine for Pushing
or Towing in Reverse
Important:
If you need to push or tow the
machine in reverse, you must first bypass the
check valve in the 4-wheel-drive manifold.
The following Toro parts are needed to bypass the
check valve:
•
59-7410, diagnostic fitting
•
354-79, diagnostic-fitting cap
•
95-8843, hydraulic hose
•
95-0985, coupler fitting (2)
•
340-77, hydraulic fitting (2)
1. Install a diagnostic fitting in the unmarked port
located between ports M8 and P2 on the rear
traction manifold
(Figure
(Figure 62).

1. Rear traction manifold
(behind front left wheel)
2. Connect a hydraulic hose between the
diagnostic fitting installed in the rear traction
manifold and the reverse traction pressure test
port (Figure
Note:
Use the hydraulic fittings and coupler
fittings as needed to install the hose.
1. Reverse traction pressure
test port
3. Rotate the bypass valve 90° (1/4 turn) in either
direction to open it and allow fluid to bypass
internally
Note:
Because the fluid bypasses the
transmission, you can move the machine slowly
without damaging the transmission.
Note the position of the valve when opening and
closing it.
