Using the Drive-Wheel-Release
Valves
WARNING
Hands may become entangled in the rotating drive
components below the engine deck, which could
result in serious injury.
Stop the engine, remove the key, and allow
all moving parts to stop before accessing the
drive-wheel-release valves.
WARNING
The engine and hydraulic drive units can become
very hot. Touching a hot engine or hydraulic drive
units can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine and hydraulic drive units to cool
completely before accessing the drive-wheel-release
valves.
The drive-wheel-release valves are located in the back of each
hydraulic drive unit, under the seat.
Note:
Make sure the release valves are in the fully horizontal
position when operating the machine or severe damage to the
hydraulic system can occur.
1.
Disengage the PTO (blade-control switch) and turn the
ignition key to off. Move the levers to neutral locked
position and apply parking brake. Remove the key.
2.
Rotate the release valve levers vertically to push the
machine. This allows hydraulic oil to by-pass the pump
enabling the wheels to turn (
).
3.
Disengage parking brake before pushing.

Using the Side Discharge
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER
Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly 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 grass deflector from the mower
because the grass deflector routes material down
toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever
damaged, replace it immediately.
•
Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
•
Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off (blade
control switch (PTO) to the off position, rotate
the ignition key to off and remove the key.
•
Make sure the grass deflector is in the down
position.
Transporting the Machine
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine.
Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary brakes,
lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read
all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could
help you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid injury.
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.
To transport the machine:
1.
If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle and
connect the safety chains.
2.
If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
3.
Load the machine onto the trailer or truck.
4.
Stop the engine, remove the key, set the brake, and
close the fuel valve.
