Transporting The Machine - Toro Groundsmaster 7210 Series Operator's Manual

Important:
Always push the machine by hand
and never a long distance. Never tow the machine,
because damage to the hydraulic system may

Important:
The bypass valves must be open
whenever you push or tow the machine. Close
the valves once you have pushed or towed the
machine to the desired location.

2. Locate the bypass valves
each bypass valve counterclockwise 1 turn.
Note:
This allows hydraulic fluid to bypass the
pump, enabling the wheels to turn.
Important:
Do not rotate the bypass valves
more than 1 turn. This prevents valves from
coming out of the body and causing fluid to
run out.
