Pushing the Machine by Hand

Important: Always push the machine by hand. Never
tow the machine because hydraulic damage may occur.
Pushing the Machine
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to the off position. Move the levers to the
neutral locked position and apply the parking brake.
Remove the key.
2. Rotate the by-pass valves counterclockwise 1 turn. This
allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the pump enabling the
wheels to turn (Figure
Important: Do not rotate the by-pass valves more
than 1 turn. This prevents the valves from coming
out of the body and causing fluid to run out.
3. Disengage the parking brake before pushing the
machine.
Changing to Machine Operation
Rotate the by-pass valves clockwise 1 turn to operate machine
(Figure 31).

Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER
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 the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to the off position, rotate the ignition key
to off and remove the key.
• Make sure that the grass deflector is in the down
position.
