TOWING OR PUSHING MACHINE
Gas and diesel powered machines may be pushed
or towed easily by bypassing the transmission. To
do this raise the rear cover and remove the belt
guard. Locate the transmission. On the rear of the
transmission is a plunger valve. Push the valve in
as far as possible and pivot up the tow bar valve just
next to the valve. This bar is supplied to lock the
valve in the “IN” position. The machine can now be
easily pushed or towed up to 4 mph (7
kilometers/hr).
Do not exceed 4 mph (7 kilometers/hr) as
damage to the transmission may result.
When towing is complete, slide tow valve bar out of
the way to release valve.

around the pivot of the rear axle beam, located at
the center of the machine behind the rear jack point.

or in a truck, in addition to tie-downs, be sure to set
the machine parking brake, and block the tires to
prevent the machine from rolling.
