Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, the machine can be moved
forward by actuating the bypass valve in the
variable displacement hydraulic pump and pushing
or towing the machine. Do not push or tow the
machine for more than 1/4 mile (0.4 km).
Important: Do not push or tow the machine
faster than 2-3 MPH (3-4.8 km/h) because
internal transmission damage may occur.
The bypass valve must be open whenever the
machine is pushed or towed.
1. Raise the seat and remove the battery cover.
The bypass valve is located in front of the
battery (Figure 28).
2. Rotate the valve 905 in either direction to open
and allow oil to bypass internally. Because fluid
is bypassed, the machine can be slowly moved
without damaging the transmission.
Note: Resistance will be felt on the valve
when it is moved to the open position.
3. Close the bypass valve before starting the
engine. However, do not exceed 5 to 8 ft-lb (7
to 11 N⋅m) torque to close the valve.

Important: If the machine must to be
pushed or towed in reverse, the check valve
in the four-wheel drive manifold must also
be bypassed. To bypass the check valve,
connect a hose assembly (Hose Part No.
95-8843, Coupler Fitting No. 95-0985 [Qty.
2], and Hydraulic Fitting No. 340-77 [Qty.
2]) to the reverse traction pressure test
port (Figure 29) and the reverse four-wheel
drive pressure port (Figure 30).

Jacking Points

• On the front of the machine on the frame on
the inside of each drive tire
• On the rear of the machine at the center of
the axle

Tie Downs

• On each side of the frame by the side cutting
unit lift arms
• Front center 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.
Some points to consider when operating the
traction unit, cutting unit, or other implements are
