UNPACKING
NOTE: Mower should be assembled while po-
sitioned on the frame bottom. Once assembly
is complete, raise the cutting deck to its highest
position, then position a ramp next to the frame
bottom and slowly and carefully drive mower off
frame.
Use care when driving the mower off of the
frame and press the brake pedal as needed
to control the speed. The mower will freely roll
if it is moved on an inclined surface without
pressing the brake pedal or setting the parking
brake. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in loss of control and result in death, se-
rious personal injury, or property damage.
If no ramp is available, slowly and carefully
drive the mower off the frame in reverse while
looking down and behind. Driving the mower
off the frame in the forward direction without a
ramp can cause damage to the mower's cut-
ting deck.
