Pushing Or Towing The Machine; Jacking Points; Tie Downs; Operating Characteristics - Toro 30605 Operator's Manual

Important: Ensure that the seat is secured with
the seat latch.
4. To raise the roll bar, remove the hairpin cotter pins
and remove the 2 pins.
5. Raise the roll bar to the upright position and install the
2 pins and secure them with the hairpin cotter pins
Important: Always use the seat belt when the roll bar
is in the raised and locked position. Do not use the seat
belt when the roll bar is in the lowered position.
Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, you can move the machine forward by
actuating the bypass valve in the variable displacement
hydraulic pump and pushing or towing the machine.
Important: Do not push or tow the machine faster
than 3 to 4.8 km/h (2 to 3 mph); otherwise, internal
transmission damage may occur. The bypass valves
must be open whenever you push or tow the machine.
1. Raise the seat.
Note: The bypass valves are located below the front
of the fuel tank (Figure
Note: Engage the parking brake while altering the
valve position.
2. Rotate each valve 3 turns counterclockwise to open
and allow oil to bypass internally.
Note: Do not open more than 3 turns. Because
fluid is bypassed, you can move the machine slowly
without damaging the transmission.
3. Close the bypass valves before starting the engine.
Torque to 70 N-m (52 ft-lb) to close the valve.

Important: If the machine must to be pushed or
towed in reverse, the check valve in the 4-wheel
drive manifold must also be bypassed. To bypass
the check valve, connect a hose assembly (Part
No. 95-8843, 2 coupler fittings (Part No. 95-0985),
and 2 hydraulic fittings (Part No. 340-77) to the
reverse-traction-pressure test port, located on the
hydrostat, and on the port located between ports
M8 and P2 on the rear-traction manifold, which is
located behind the front tire.

Jacking Points

WARNING
Always support the machine with jack stands. Do
not rely on a jack or hoist to hold machine up.
There are jacking points located at the front and rear of the
machine.
•
On the frame at the inside of each front drive tire
•
At the center of the rear axle

Tie Downs

There are tie downs located at the front, rear and sides of
the machine.
•
Use only DOT-approved straps when securing the
machine to a trailer.
•
Secure in all 4 corners.
•
There are 2 on the front of the operator's platform
•
The rear bumper

Operating Characteristics

Practice driving the machine because it has a hydrostatic
transmission, and its characteristics are different than many
turf maintenance machines. When operating the traction unit,
cutting unit, or other implements, consider the transmission,
engine speed, load on the cutting blades or other implement
components, and the brakes.
With Toro Smart Power™, you do not need to listen to the
engine speed in heavy conditions. Smart Power prevents
bogging down in heavy turf by automatically controlling the
machine speed and optimizing cutting performance.
You can use the brakes to assist in turning the machine.
However, use them carefully, especially on soft or wet grass
because the turf may be torn accidentally. Another benefit of
the brakes is to maintain traction. For example, in some slope
conditions, the uphill wheel slips and loses traction. If this
occurs, press the uphill-turn pedal gradually and intermittently
until the uphill wheel stops slipping, thus increasing traction
on the downhill wheel.
