 If using the optional bagger kit, use extreme caution and
operate the mower slowly when operating on slopes, as
the bagging kit can change the stability of the mower.
 Always use the drive levers and brake when traveling
down the slope. Do not attempt to let the mower coast
downhill in neutral.
 If at any point the tires lose traction while operating on
a slope, disengage the blades and proceed slowly and
carefully straight down the slope.
 If the mower stops while going uphill, stop blades, look
behind you, and back up slowly.
TRANSPORTING THE MOWER
See Figure 17.
WARNING:
Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer. Press the low speed drive button and careful-
ly move the drive levers as needed to control the speed.
Always back onto the trailer when loading. When loading
or unloading the mower, do not exceed the maximum
recommended operation angle of 15°. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in loss of control and result
in death, serious personal injury, or property damage.
WARNING:
Use care when loading or unloading the mower onto a
trailer. Ensure the cutting deck is raised to the highest
position so that it is not caught on the ramp. The wheels
on the mower can go off the ramp or trailer, causing the
mower to pivot or tip over, and result in a crush hazard
that can cause death or serious personal injury.
 Park the mower on a level surface.
 Raise the cutting deck to the highest position.
OPERATION
 Position and secure ramp to the trailer according to
manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: We recommend you use one full width loading
ramp that is at least 1 ft. wider than the mower to minimize
the risk of the mower's wheels going off the side of the
ramp.
 Slowly back the mower onto the ramp and into the trailer.
 Lower mower deck completely.
 Set the parking brake.
 Turn off mower and remove key.
 Secure the mower as needed using straps or cables to
prevent movement during transport.
WARNING:
To avoid accidental starting or movement that could result
in serious personal injury, always remove the start key
and set the parking brake when transporting the mower.
