TOWING
When it is necessary to move the Super Star X-treme without engine running, bypass valve built into hydrostatic
pump must be "open" by turning it counterclockwise. The valve is located on the right side of the pump. An
"open" valve allows fluid to pass through the wheels freely. When normal, driven, operation is desired, valve
should be "closed by turning it clockwise. Failure to "close" the valve with engine running means no power to
wheels. The machine can be moved for a short distance with the engine off, but we do not recommend this as a
standard procedure. When towing do not tow the machine faster than 2-3 MPH (3-5 km/h) because the drive
system may be damaged. The tires may lock up if the machine is towed too fast. If this occurs, stop towing the
machine. If the machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer.
