TRANSPORTING
BEFORE LOADING
1. If your lawn tractor is equipped with an optional grass bag kit,
remove the bags, hopper cover, lower and upper chute. The rear
support arms are bolted directly to the lawn tractor and may
remain in place when transporting.
2. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15
minutes before loading the lawn tractor. Make sure to turn the fuel
valve to OFF (page 31).
3. If you need to push the lawn tractor into position, make sure the
shift lever is in NEUTRAL (gear transmission model) or the
transmission release control (hydrostatic transmission model) is in
the RELEASED position (page 18).
LOADING AND UNLOADING
1. Transport the lawn tractor on a flat, level trailer or truck bed. The
tiedown points should be near or on the floor.
2. Securely tie the lawn tractor down, front and rear, with ropes or
straps. Use the points shown here when attaching the tiedowns.
Do not attach tiedowns to the steering rods.

3. When the lawn tractor is in position, turn the fuel valve OFF to
reduce the possibility of fuel leaking.
4. The lawn tractor may spill fuel if tilted during loading or
transporting. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
