Pushing the Machine by Hand
Important
Always push the machine by hand. Never
tow the machine because hydraulic damage may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Rotate the by-pass valves counterclockwise 1 turn to
push. This allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the pump
enabling the wheels to turn (Fig. 27).
Important
Do not rotate by-pass valves more than
1 turn. This prevents valves from coming out of the body
and causing fluid to run out.
To Operate the Machine
Turn the by-pass valves in to operate (Fig. 27).
Note: Do not over tighten the by–pass valves.
Note: The machine will not drive unless by-pass valves
are turned in.

Operating with Grass Deflector
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf. Refer to
Replacing the Grass Deflector on page 52.
Make sure the side discharge blades are used when in side
discharge mode.
Important
Do not use side discharge blades while in
recycling mode.
