Shipping Brace Removal
Make sure the tractor's engine is OFF, remove the ignition key, and set the parking
brake before removing the shipping brace. Refer to the Controls & Operations
section on page 16 for instructions on how to set the parking brake.
Check the cutting deck for a shipping brace (a) that may be holding the chute
deflector (b) upward for shipment. If the shipping brace (a) is present, it must be
removed before operating the tractor. Holding the chute deflector (b) fully upward,
remove the shipping brace (a). Lower the chute deflector (b) and discard the
shipping brace (a). See Figure 2-3.
(b)
The shipping brace (a) is used for packaging purposes only, it must be
removed and discarded before operating your tractor.
The cutting deck is capable of throwing objects. Failure to operate the
tractor without the chute deflector in the proper operating position could
result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
