Children or bystanders may be injured if
they move or attempt to operate the machine
while it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Pushing the Machine by
Hand
The by-pass valves allow the machine to be pushed
by hand without the engine running.
Important: Always push the machine
by hand. Never tow the machine because
hydraulic damage may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control
levers to the neutral locked position and set
the parking brake.
2. Open the by-pass valve on both pumps by
turning them counter clockwise 1 to 2 turns.
This allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the
pumps and the wheels to turn (Figure 11).
Note: Rotate the by-pass valves a maximum
of 2 turns so the valve does not come out of
the body causing fluid to run out.
