13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER
Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and mower between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.

Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all mower moving parts to come to a complete stop. Raise the mower wings and secure in position with transport lock braces. When transporting, only raise the center deck enough to clear ground obstacles to prevent tipping, especially when traveling through rough terrain.
If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to have hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to the mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport.
