Pushing or Towing the
Machine
WARNING
While the tow bypass valve is open, the
machine could unintentionally move, and
injure you or bystanders.
When you are not pushing or towing the
machine, engage the parking brake.
In an emergency, you can move the machine by
opening tow bypass valve of the traction hydraulic
pump, installing a hydraulic hose to bypass the check
valve, and then pushing or towing the machine.
If you need to push or tow your machine, you may
need to move it both forward and in reverse. To ensure
that the drive system does not become damaged from
pushing or towing, it is best to prepare the machine
for both forward and reverse pushing or towing.

(purchased separately): Reverse
Tow Kit, Toro Part No. 136-3620

If you need to push or tow the
machine in reverse, you must first bypass the
check valve in the 4-wheel-drive manifold.
