General Information

Operator’s Manual

The Operator’s Manual provides information regarding

the operation, general maintenance and maintenance

intervals for your Reelmaster machine. Refer to that

publication for additional information when servicing the

machine.

Towing Traction Unit

IMPORTANT: If towing limits are exceeded, severe

damage to the piston pump may occur.

If it becomes necessary to tow (or push) the machine,

tow (or push) in a forward direction only, at a speed

below 3 mph (4.8 kph) and for a distance less than 1/4

mile (0.4 km). The piston (traction) pump is equipped

with a bypass valve that needs to be turned 90

for tow-

ing (Fig. 1). Do not turn bypass valve when engine is run-

ning.

See Traction Unit Operator’s Manual for additional tow-

ing procedures.

IMPORTANT: If the machine must be pushed or

towed in a reverse direction, the check valve in the

4WD/2WD control manifold must be bypassed. To

bypass this check valve, connect a hydraulic hose

between the reverse traction pressure test port and

the 4WD/2WD control manifold test port (G). Toro

part numbers 95--8843 (hydraulic hose), 95--0985

(coupler fitting) (2 required) and 340--77 (hydraulic

fitting) (2 required) are needed for this connection.

Check Hydraulic Fluid

The Reelmaster 7000 hydraulic systems are designed

to operate on anti--wear hydraulic fluid. The reservoir

holds approximately 8.25 U.S. gallons (31.3 liters) of hy-

draulic fluid. Check level of hydraulic fluid daily.
