Preparing the Machine to Push or Tow in Reverse
Install the Reverse Tow Kit
Required Parts (purchased separately): Reverse Tow Kit, Toro Part No. 136-3620
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.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking brake, lower the cutting units,
shut off the engine and remove the key.
2. Loosely assemble the bypass hose and straight fittings of the reverse tow kit; refer to the
Reverse Tow Kit Installation Instructions.
3. Remove the dust cap and the test fitting from the test port of the reverse traction tube.
4. Assemble the straight fitting of the bypass hose to the test port, and tighten the fitting
and hose.
5. Remove the #6 hex-socket plug from the unmarked port (located between the fittings in
port M8 and port P2) of the rear-traction manifold.
6. Assemble the other straight fitting of the bypass hose into the unmarked rear-traction
manifold port, and tighten the fitting and hose.

7. Open the tow-bypass valve by rotating it
90° (1/4 turn) in either direction.
Note: Note the position of the valve when
opening and closing it.
8. Push or tow 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 damage to the hydraulic system may occur. The bypass
valve must be open whenever you push or tow the machine.
