4.9 PARKING THE MOWER

1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface only. Do not
park the machine on an incline.
2. Disengage the cutter blades.
3. Shift the speed control lever into the neutral position,
lock the neutral latches and apply the parking brake.
4. Slow the engine to idle speed.
5. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove
the key.

4.10 AFTER OPERATION

1. Wash the entire mower after each use. Do not
use high pressure spray or direct the spray onto
electrical components.
- IMPORTANT -
Do not wash a hot or running engine. Cold water
will damage the engine. Use compressed air to
clean the engine if it is hot.
2. Keep the entire mower clean to inhibit serious heat
damage to the engine or hydraulic oil circuit.
3. Check the drive belts for proper alignment and any
signs of wear. Correct and adjust if necessary.
DANGER
To avoid injury from burns, allow the mower
to cool before removing the fuel tank cap and
refueling.
4. After the mower has cooled down, fill the fuel tank
with fresh, clean fuel at the end of every day of
operation. See Engine Owner's Manual for proper
octane requirements.
5. Check the tire pressure. Adjust pressure if
necessary. (See Section 7.9.)

4.11 REMOVING CLOGGED MATERIAL

DANGER
ROTATING BLADES
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS INTO THE DISCHARGE
CHUTE FOR ANY REASON!
Shut off the engine and remove the key and
only then use a stick or similar object to remove
material if clogging has occurred.
1. If the discharge chute becomes clogged, shut off the
engine and remove the ignition key. Using a stick
or similar item, dislodge the clogged material. Then
resume normal mowing.
