Pushing Or Towing The Machine - Toro 03706 Operator's Manual

2. Sit on the seat and engage the parking brake.
Turn the key and try to start the engine with
the Mow-Backlap lever in both the Mow and
Backlap positions. If the engine cranks, there is a
malfunction that must be repaired immediately. If
engine does not crank, the cutting unit drive switch
is operating properly.
3. Sit on the seat and disengage the parking brake.
Turn the key and try to start engine with the
Mow-Backlap lever in the Stop position. If the
engine cranks, there is a malfunction that must be
repaired immediately. If engine does not crank, the
brake switch is operating properly.
4. Engage the parking brake, start the engine, and
lower the cutting units. Move the Mow-Backlap
lever to the Mow position. Raise off the seat; the
engine should stop within a few seconds, which
indicates the interlock system is operating. Also raise
off the seat with the lever in the Backlap position.
The engine should stop, indicating interlock system
is operating. If engine does not stop, there is a
malfunction that must be repaired immediately.
Note: There is a 1 to 2 second delay between rising
off the seat and engine shutting off.
5. Engage the parking brake, move the Mow-Backlap
lever to the Neutral position, start the engine,
disengage the parking brake, and raise off the seat.
If the engine stops, the interlock system is operating.
If engine does not stop, there is a malfunction that
must be repaired immediately.
Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, the machine can be pushed or towed
for a very short distance, by using the traction pump
by–pass valve.
Important: Do not push or tow the machine faster
than 2-3 mph (3-4.8 km/h) because the hydraulic
system may be damaged. If the traction unit must
be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a
truck or trailer.
DANGER
The machine will roll with the front wheel motors
disengaged. The machine must be on a level
surface or the wheels must be blocked. There
is no effective braking with the wheel motors
disengaged.

2. Raise the seat and support it in and upright position
with the seat support rod (Figure 20).

3. Rotate the by-pass valve 90 degrees (Figure 21).
Opening the valve opens an internal passage in the
traction pump, thereby by-passing hydraulic oil.
Because oil is by-passed, the traction unit can be
moved without damaging the hydraulic system.
