housing.

Pushing the Machine by Hand
Important Always push the machine by hand. Never
tow the machine, because hydraulic damage may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the power takeoff (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to Off.
2. Rotate the bypass valves counterclockwise 1 turn to
push. This allows the hydraulic fluid to bypass the
pump, enabling the wheels to turn (Fig. 21).

Important Do not rotate the bypass valves more than
1 turn. This prevents the valves from coming out of the
body and causing fluid to run out.
