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. 22).
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.
4. Disengage parking brake before pushing.
Changing to Machine Operation
1. Rotate the by-pass valves clockwise 1 turn to operate
machine (Fig. 22).
Note: Do not over tighten the by–pass valves.
Note: The machine will not drive unless by-pass valves
are turned in.

Operating with Side Discharge
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
m–3655
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
Never remove the grass deflector from the
mower because the grass deflector routes
material down toward the turf. If the grass
deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to off and rotate the ignition key to off.
Also remove the key and pull the wire off the
spark plug(s).
Make sure the grass deflector is in the
down position.
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 instructions. Knowing this information could
help you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid injury.
