OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

TOWING TRAILERS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS:

Towing a trailer or other attachment that is too heavy could damage the drive or cause the mower to become unstable. Limit loads to 250 pounds or less with this mower.

TO FREE WHEEL MACHINE (Unlock Transmission):

Always turn off engine before engaging or disengaging the hydro release (free wheel) lever. Never attempt to move the lever with the engine running.

The hydro release valves are located below the seat, on the front side of the hydro pumps. To access the release valves, lift the seat frame assembly, use a 5/8” wrench to rotate bolt counter-clockwise two full turns to disengage pump. Repeat procedure for opposite pump. To engage, rotate each pump bolt clockwise until bolt is snug.
