Towing (Fig. 9)
In case of an emergency, the Reelmaster 216/216-D
can be towed for a short distance. However, Toro does
not recommend this as a standard procedure.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than
2 to 3 MPH because drive system may be damaged.
If machine must be towed a longer distance, trans-
port it on a truck or trailer.
1. To tow machine rotate by-pass valve on pump coun-
terclockwise until it is fully open.
2. Before starting engine, close by-pass valve securely
by rotating it clockwise. Do not exceed 5 to 8 ft-lb of
torque. Do not start engine while valve is open.
