•Initial Operating Safety Guidelines •Operation In Reverse •Operation In Forward Direction
Next, raise the mower deck into the locked transport position. This is the highest position for the mower deck. Then drive the mower in reverse at a 45 degree angle to the curb (with the left side of the mower closest to the curb) until you are within an inch or two of the
WARNING
