Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emerg ency , the mac hine can be mo v ed
forw ard b y actuating the b ypass v alv e in the
v ariable displacement h y draulic pump and pushing
or to wing the mac hine . Do not push or to w the
machine f or mor e than 1/4 mile (0.4 km).
Important: Do not push or to w the machine
f aster than 2-3 MPH (3-4.8 km/h) because
inter nal transmission dama ge may occur .
T he bypass v alv e must be open whenev er the
machine is pushed or to w ed.
1. Raise the seat and remo v e the batter y co v er .
T he b ypass v alv e is located in front of the
batter y ( Figure 28 ).
2. R otate the v alv e 905 in either direction to open
and allo w oil to b ypass inter nally . Because fluid
is b ypassed, the mac hine can be slo wly mo v ed
without damaging the transmission.
Note: R esistance will be felt on the v alv e
when it is mo v ed to the open position.
3. Close the b ypass v alv e before star ting the
engine . Ho w ev er , do not ex ceed 5 to 8 ft-lb (7
to 11 N ⋅ m) tor que to close the v alv e .

Important: If the machine must to be
pushed or to w ed in r ev er se, the check v alv e
in the f our -wheel dri v e manif old must also
be bypassed. T o bypass the check v alv e,
connect a hose assembl y (Hose P ar t No.
95-8843, Coupler Fitting No. 95-0985 [Qty .
2], and Hy draulic Fitting No. 340-77 [Qty .

por t ( Figur e 29 ) and the r ev er se f our -wheel
dri v e pr essur e por t ( Figur e 30 ).

Jacking Points
• On the front of the mac hine on the frame on
the inside of eac h dri v e tire
• On the rear of the mac hine at the center of
the axle
Tie Downs
• On eac h side of the frame b y the side cutting
unit lift ar ms
• F ront center of the operator’ s platfor m
• T he rear bumper
Operating Characteristics
Practice dri ving the mac hine because it has a
h y drostatic transmission and its c haracteristics are
different than many turf maintenance mac hines .
