Pushing Or Towing The Machine; Locating The Jacking Points; Hauling The Machine; Locating The Tie-Down Points - Toro 30605 Operator's Manual

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.
Important: Do not push or tow the machine faster than 3
to 4.8 km/h (2 to 3 mph), because internal-transmission
damage may occur. The bypass valves must be open
whenever the machine is pushed or towed.
1. Raise the seat and locate the bypass valves, which are
located below the front of the fuel tank
1. Bypass valve
2. Rotate each valve 3 turns counter-clockwise to open
and allow oil to bypass internally.
Note: Do not open more than 3 turns. Because fluid
is bypassed, the machine can be slowly moved without
damaging the transmission.
3. Close the bypass valves before starting the engine.
4. Torque to 70 N∙m (52 ft-lb) to close the valve.
Important: If you must push or tow the machine in
reverse, bypass the check valve in the 4-wheel drive
manifold. To bypass the check valve, connect a hose
assembly that consists of a hose (Part No. 95-8843), 2
coupler fittings (No. 95-0985), and 2 hydraulic fittings
(No. 340-77) to the reverse-traction, pressure-test port,
located on the hydrostat, and to the port located between
ports M8 and P2 on the rear traction manifold, located
behind the front tire.
