optional grass bag kit, remove the bags, hopper cover and
upper chute. The rear support arms and lower chute are
bolted directly to the riding mower and may remain in place
when transporting.
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least
15 minutes before loading the riding mower.
Make sure the transmission engagement lever is set to
DISENGAGE (hydrostatic transmission model only). See

bed. The tie down points should be near or on the floor.
Securely tie the mower down, front and rear, with ropes or
straps. Use the points shown here when attaching the tie
downs. Do not attach tie downs to the steering rods.

position, turn the fuel valve
OFF to reduce the possibility , ,
of fuel leaking. ’ -
The riding mower may spill fuel if tilted during loading or
transporting. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
