TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that . . .
•
All access doors are latched securely.
•
The machine is tied down securely - see Tie Down / Jacking Locations (A) in Figure 1.
•

TOWING OR PUSHING A DISABLED MACHINE
CAUTION!
The machine's drive propelling pump is manufactured with an adjustable tow valve. This valve prevents damage to the hydraulic
system when the machine is being towed/pushed short distances without use of the engine.
The tow valve is controlled by the Tow Valve Lever (34) which is accessed by opening and propping the Engine Cover (3). Pull The Tow Valve Lever (34) out; this
disengages the hydrostatic lock between the motor and pump.
The hydrostatic pump can be damaged if the machine is towed with the valve in the normal working position (Tow Valve Lever (34) pushed IN). Note: If the tow
valve is left in free wheeling position (Tow Valve Lever (34) pulled OUT) the hydrostatic pump can't drive the machine FWD or REV. No damage will result, just
reset the valve to the normal working position by pushing the lever IN. Tow or push the machine no faster than a normal walking pace (2-3 miles per hour) and for
short distances only. If the machine is to be moved long distances the front drive wheel needs to be raised off the fl oor and placed on a suitable transport dolly.
