Moving Mower with Stalled Engine
If it becomes necessary to move the mower when the
engine is inoperative, the hydraulic pumps are equipped
with bypass valves. Before moving the unit, turn bypass
valves counter clockwise one-half to one revolution. The
valve stems on each hydraulic pump are located near the
top and are identified as a hex stud. Refer to Figure 2-8.
Do not tow the machine. Move it by hand or use a winch to
load on a trailer for transporting.
IMPORTANT: The engine starter should not be
operated for periods longer then 30 seconds at a time.
An interval of at least two minutes should be allowed
between such cranking periods to protect the starter
from overheating and burn-out.
