OPERATING

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Transmission damage may occur if the machine is towed or moved incorrectly:

•Move machine by hand only.

•Do not use another vehicle to move machine.

•Do not tow machine.

NOTE: The pump free-wheel valves must be turned fully clockwise (closed) during normal machine operation.

When the machine needs to be moved without starting the engine, use the pump free-wheel valves:

1. Lock park brake.

NOTE: The pumps (A) are located in the back of the machine, behind the rear shield (B).

2.Turn both pump free-wheel valves (C) counterclockwise approximately one full turn (open position).

3.Unlock park brake.

4.Push machine to desired location. Due to hydraulic system drag, machine will move slowly.

5.Turn pump free-wheel valves (C) on both pumps one full turn clockwise (closed position). Tighten valves to 11 N•m (100 lb-in.).

6.Lock park brake.

Transporting Machine on a Trailer

Use a heavy-duty trailer to transport your machine. Trailer must have signs and lights required by law.

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.

•Close fuel shut-off valve, if your machine is equipped.

1.Drive machine onto a trailer.

2.Stop engine and lock park brake.

3.Remove key.

4.Fasten machine to trailer with heavy-duty straps, chains or cables. Both front and rear straps must be directed downward and outward from machine.

Mowing Tips

•Mow grass with throttle lever in the full fast position.

•Cut grass when it is dry.

•Keep mower deck and discharge chute clean.

•Mow with sharp blades.

•Properly level mower deck for a smooth cut.

•Mow grass high and often.

•Use a travel speed that fits the conditions:

•Mow tall or wet grass twice. Cut grass at half desired height – then cut at desired height.

•Travel slow when mowing tall, thick or wet grass.

•Avoid damaging grass by slipping or skidding machine drive wheels. Practice smooth control lever movements.

•When performing sharp turns, do not allow inside machine drive wheel to stop and twist on grass.

Mowing Travel Speeds

Use slow travel speeds for:

•Slopes.

•Trimming.

•Close quarters.

•Tall grass.

Use faster travel speeds for:

• Normal mowing on level ground.

Dismounting to Inspect Mower

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Help prevent serious injury. Keep hands and feet away from blades and the discharge opening.

•Do not step on either side of the mower deck when mounting and dismounting the machine. Mount and dismount the machine using the front foot plate.

1.Park machine on a hard, level surface.

2.Disengage PTO.

3.Move motion control levers to the neutral position.

4.Lock park brake.

5.Stop engine and remove key. Wait for mower blades to stop turning before leaving operator’s position.
