Cleaning the Machine
Clean the machine after each use.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage the blade-control switch, and move the
motion-control levers outward to the P
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving
the operating position.
3. Clean grass and debris from cutting unit, muffler, drives, grass catcher, and engine.
You can wash the machine with a mild detergent and water. Do not pressure wash the
machine. Avoid excessive use of water, especially near the control panel, under the
seat, around the engine, hydraulic pumps, and motors.
Hauling the Machine
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to haul the machine. Use a full-width ramp. Ensure that the
trailer or truck has all the necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as required by law. Please
carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you or
bystanders avoid injury. Refer to your local ordinances for trailer and tie-down requirements.
Driving on the street or roadway without turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a
slow-moving-vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing
personal injury.
Do not drive the machine on a public street or roadway.
Trailer Requirements
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of tip-over and
could cause serious injury or death.
• Use only a full-width ramp; do not use individual ramps for each side of the
machine.
• Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the
ramp and the trailer or truck.
• Ensure that the length of ramp is at least 4 times as long as the height of the trailer
or truck bed to the ground.
