OPERATOR PLATFORM LATCHING MECHANISM
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Never operate the mower without first checking that the operator platform latching mechanism is fully engaged and in good working order. Check behind the seat and ensure that the top of the platform is flush with the top of the fuel tank. Also check beneath the tool tray and ensure that the release lever is padlocked in the correct position.
IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - Engage the parking brake and lower the cutterheads to the ground. Remove ignition key and close ignition cover before raising or lowering the platform.

Releasing the platform: Release and remove the tool tray from the left hand side of the platform. Release the padlock securing the locking latch handle with the key provided. Move the locking latch handle towards the front of the mower (position A) until the latch hooks clear the locking bar and raise the platform. The gas spring will provide assistance.
Securing the platform: Lower the platform carefully. The gas spring will provide assistance. Move the locking latch handle towards the front of the mower (position A) as the platform nears the fully lowered position. This will ensure that the latch hooks clear the locking bar. Fully lower the platform and move the locking handle towards the rear of the mower (Position B) until the latch hooks fully engage the locking bar. Replace the padlock in order to secure the locking latch handle in place.
