UNPACKING

NOTE: Mower should be assembled while positioned on
the frame bottom. Once assembly is complete, raise the
cutting deck to its highest position, position a ramp next to
the frame bottom, release the parking brake and slowly and
carefully drive mower off frame.
WARNING:
Use extra care when driving the mower off of the frame.
Press the low speed drive button and carefully move the
drive levers and/or press the brake pedal as needed to
control the speed. When driving the mower off of the
frame, do not exceed the maximum recommended op-
eration angle of 15°. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in loss of control and result in death, serious
personal injury, or property damage.
NOTICE:
If no ramp is available, slowly and carefully drive the
mower off the frame in reverse while looking down and
behind. Driving the mower off the frame in the forward
direction without a ramp can cause damage to the
mower's cutting deck.
