OPERATION
Moving Machine By Hand
When pushing or pulling the mower, engage the
bypass linkages. The release levers are 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
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! Use more care when loading
the machine into a truck or trailer using ramps.
There is the possibility of dangerous injury or
death if the machine falls off the ramps.
WARNING! Do not make adjustments
unless:
• the engine is stopped,
• the ignition key is removed,
• the park brake is engaged
WARNING! Bypass linkages are near
to the muffler. To prevent burns, the engine
should be shut off and allowed to cool before
the bypass linkage levers are touched.
