RAISING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Never work under a machine without safety stands or blocks to support the machine.
• When raising the machine, do so at designated locations - see Tie Down / Lift Point Locations (A) in Figure 1.
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that . . .
• All access doors are latched securely.
• The machine is tied down securely - see Tie Down / Lift Point Locations (A) in Figure 1.
• The machine Parking Brake (28) is set.
TOWING OR PUSHING A DISABLED MACHINE
CAUTION!
The machine's drive propelling pump is manufactured with an adjustable tow valve. This valve prevents damage to the hydraulic
system when the machine is being towed/pushed short distances without use of the engine.
The tow valve is controlled by the Tow Valve Lever (34) which is accessed by opening and propping the Engine Cover (3). Pull The Tow Valve Lever (34) out; this
disengages the hydrostatic lock between the motor and pump.
The drive wheel may be damaged if the machine is towed with the valve in the normal working position (Tow Valve Lever (34) pushed IN). Note: If the tow valve
is left in free-wheeling position (Tow Valve Lever (34) pulled OUT) the hydrostatic pump may not propel the machine in forward or reverse. If the tow valve is
engaged or partially engaged the vehicle may not operate at full speed. Continuous operation under this conditions can cause overheating and permanent
damage to the hydrostatic drive system. Do not tow or push the machine faster than a normal walking pace (2-3 mph / (3-4 km/hr) and for short distances only
(300 feet / 100 meters) or serious damage to the hydrostatic drive motor may occur. If the machine is to be moved long distances the front drive wheel needs to be
raised off the fl oor and placed on a suitable transport dolly.
