TOWING VEHICLE
In an emergency the MULTI PRO
®
5600 can be
towed a short distance by actuating the dump
valve in the variable displacement hydraulic
pump, and towing the vehicle. However, TORO
does not recommend this as a standard
procedure.
IMPORTANT! Do not tow the vehicle faster
than 2-3 mph (3-4.8 km/hr) because internal
transmission damage may occur. The dump
valve must be open whenever the vehicle is
pushed or towed. If the vehicle must be
moved a considerable distance, transport it on
a truck or trailer.
NOTE: When the engine is not running, the
power steering will not function, making it
difficult (increased effort) to steer.
MAINTENANCE
Establish a regular schedule of lubrication to insure
trouble free performance.
For a vehicle operated under normal conditions,
check and service at the intervals indicated in the
chart on the following page. When operating in
extremely cold, hot, or dusty conditions, check and
service more frequently. For additional engine
maintenance information, refer to the Engine
Operator's Manual supplied with the vehicle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DUMP VALVE (FIG. 28)
1. The Dump Valve is located on the left side of
the variable displacement pump. Rotate the valve
90° in either direction to open. This will allow
hydraulic fluid to by-pass internally. When fluid
is by-passed, the vehicle can be moved - slowly
- without damaging the transmission.
2. Close dump valve before starting the engine.
However do not exceed 5-8 ft-lb (7-11 N m)
torque to close the valve.

CAUTION
Towing at excessive speeds could cause
vehicle to lose steering control.
Never tow vehicle faster than 3 MPH.
WARNING
Servicing the vehicle while the engine is
running or vehicle is not properly secured,
could result in personal injury or death.
Before servicing or making adjustments
to the vehicle, set parking brake, stop
engine, and remove key from the switch.
