TRANSPORTING BEFORE LOADING
If the engine has been running,
allow it to cool for at least 15
minutes before loading the mower
on the transport vehicle. A hot
engine and exhaust system can
burn you and can ignite some
materials.
THROTTLE
LEVER
Remove the grass bag.
Put the throttle lever in the FUEL
VALVE OFF position to shut off
the fuel valve. This will prevent
carburetor flooding and reduce
the possibility of fuel leakage.
LOADING AND UNLOADING
If a suitable loading ramp is not available, two people should lift the
mower on and off the transport vehicle while holding the mower level.
Position the mower so all four wheels are on the bed of the transport
vehicle. Tie the mower down with rope or straps, and block the
wheels. Keep the tie-down rope or straps away from the controls,
adjustment levers, cables, and the carburetor.
The handlebar can be folded so the mower will take up less space
(see page 69).
