Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the parking
brake when leaving the machine unattended, even
if just for a few minutes.
Using the Rotation Indicator
The slots in the top of the belt covers allow the operator to
verify if the blades have stopped rotating after disengaging the
power take-off (PTO) switch.
Disengage the power take-off (PTO) switch, stop the engine,
remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before

Pushing the Machine by Hand
The bypass valves allow the machine to be pushed by hand
without the engine running.
Important: Always push the machine by hand. Do not
tow the machine, because hydraulic damage may occur.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control levers to
the neutral-locked position and set the parking brake.
2. Open the bypass valve on both pumps by turning them
counterclockwise 1 to 2 turns. This allows hydraulic
fluid to bypass the pumps and the wheels to turn
(Figure
Note: Rotate the bypass valves a maximum of 2 turns
so the valve does not come out of the body causing
fluid to run out.
