Pushing Or Towing The Machine - Toro Groundsmaster 4300-D Operator's Manual

Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, you can move the machine
forward 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). If you push or tow
at a faster speed, internal transmission damage
may occur.
The bypass valves must be open whenever you
push or tow the machine.
1. Locate the bypass valve on the left side of the
hydrostat (Figure
Figure 63
1. Bypass valve
2. Loosen the bolt 1-1/2 turns to allow the oil to
bypass internally.
Note:
Because the fluid is bypassed, the
machine can be moved slowly without damaging
the transmission.
3. Push or tow the machine.
4. Finish pushing or towing the machine and close
the bypass valve . Torque the valve to 11 N∙m
(5 to 8 ft-lb).
Important:
Ensure that the bypass valve is
closed before you start the engine. Running
the engine with an open bypass valve causes
the transmission to overheat.
