height of cuts lower than 2 1/2 inches (64 mm).
Note:
When bumpers become worn, switch the
bumpers to the opposite sides of the mower, flipping
them over. This allows the bumpers to be used longer
before replacing them.

Transporting
Transporting the Machine
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
Thoroughly read all of the safety instructions.
Knowing this information could help you, your
family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.
To transport the machine:
•
Lock the brake and block the wheels.
•
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck
with straps, chains, cable, or ropes. Only use the
designated tie-down locations on the mower (see
Figure 24 and Figure 25). Use these locations even
when transporting the mower with an attached
accessory. Using non-designated locations may
cause damage to the mower and/or attachment.
