Completing The Work For The Day; Completing The Project - Toro 25430A Operator's Manual

If you must tow the machine, perform the following steps
using caution:
Note: If you do not have a rigid drawbar, use 2 towing
machines. Attach a tow chain each to the front and rear
towing machines. Use the front towing machine to move the
non-functioning machine and the rear towing machine to
stop the non-functioning machine.
Note: This machine has hydrostatic braking. When you stop
the engine, the brakes automatically engage.
1. Disconnect the hydraulic hose from the parking brake
cylinder as shown in Figure 29.
Note: Plug the open end of the hose to prevent the
hydraulic fluid from leaking out.

350 psi to the brake cylinder (Figure 29).
3. Operate the hand pump until the brakes are released.
4. Move the utility-traction lever to the Neutral position.
Note: You can move the machine up to 8 km/h (5

transport a disabled machine more than 1.6 km (1 mile),
you must use a suitable trailer; refer to Transporting the
Machine (page 30).
5. Tow the machine to the transport vehicle or to a site
where you can repair the machine.
