Pushing the Machine by Hand

If the machine stalls, runs out of fuel, etc. you may need to
push it. To do so, you first need to open both of the hydraulic
by-pass valves.
Important: Always push the machine by hand and
never a long distance. Never tow the machine because
hydraulic damage may occur.
Pushing the Machine
1. Disengage the power take-off (PTO), turn the ignition
key to off and apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. Both
by-pass valves must be opened.
3. Lift the seat.
4. Rotate each by-pass valve counterclockwise 1 turn
(Figure 25).
This allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the pump
enabling the wheels to turn.
Important: Do not rotate the by-pass valves more
than 1 turn. This prevents valves from coming out
of the body and causing fluid to run out.
5. Disengage the parking brake before pushing.
Changing to Machine Operation
Rotate each by-pass valve clockwise 1 turn and hand tighten
them (torque of approximately 8 N-m (71 in-lb)
Note: Do not over tighten the by-pass valves.
The machine will not drive properly unless the by-pass valves
are turned in.
