OPERATION
Moving Machine By Hand
When pushing or pulling the mower, engage the
bypass linkages. The release levers are located
on each side of the rear of the unit below the rear
engine plate.
1. Raise the deck to the highest (transport)
position.
2. Pull the release levers up and out of the
keyhole slots. Release the levers with the
head outside the bracket and held into the
bypass setting.
3. To reengage the linkages to drive, reverse the
above procedure.
Load the machine into truck or trailer by driving up
ramps in low gear. DO NOT LIFT! The machine is
not intended to be lifted by hand.
WARNING! Do not make adjustments
unless:
• the engine is stopped,
• the ignition key is removed,
• the park brake is activated
WARNING! Use extreme caution when
loading the machine into a truck or trailer using
ramps. There is the possibility of serious injury
or death if the machine falls off the ramps.
WARNING! Bypass linkages are located
close to the muffler. To prevent burns, the
engine should be shut off and allowed to cool
before the bypass linkage levers are handled.
