Operation
DANGER
Without the discharge deflector, mulch kit, or
entire grass collection system mounted in place,
you and others are exposed to blade contact and
thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
•
Never remove the discharge deflector from
the mower because the discharge deflector
routes material down toward the turf. If the
discharge deflector is ever damaged, replace
it immediately.
•
Never put your hands or feet under the
mower.
•
Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the blade control
switch to Off and rotate the ignition key to
Off. Also remove the key and pull the wire
off the spark plug(s).
After Operation
General Safety
•
Park machine on level ground, move the motion
control levers out to engage the parking brake,
disengage the blade control switch, stop engine,
and remove key. Wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operator’s position. Allow
the machine to cool before servicing, adjusting,
fueling, cleaning, or storing.
•
Clean grass, leaves, excessive grease or oil, and
other debris from the mower deck, muffler, drives,
grass catcher, and engine area to help prevent
fires.
•
Close the fuel shut-off valve before storing or
transporting the machine.
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.
•
Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is closed.
•
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 as
shown in Figure 23. 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.

chains.
WARNING
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 machine on a public street or
roadway.
Loading the Machine
Use extreme caution when loading or unloading
machines onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width
ramp that is wider than the machine for this
procedure. Back up ramps and drive forward down
ramps (Figure 24).
