1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to off. Move the levers to neutral locked
position and apply parking brake. Remove the key.

Operating with the Overheat
Sensor
This machine has a sensor that will turn off the mower deck
when the engine overheats. When the engine overheats, the
audible alarm and light alarm will turn on along with the
mower deck turning off.
If the mower deck turns off automatically because of
overheating, the operator will be able to drive the machine to
a safe area and to a truck or trailer.
If the machine overheats, ensure the area around the engine
and radiator is clear of any debris. The engine will need to be
turned off and allowed to cool down before the mower deck
can be engaged. If the engine continues to overheat, take
your machine to an Authorized Service Dealer.
Transporting Machines
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine.
Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting and
marking as required by law. Please carefully read all the safety
