4.3.8 Blade Disengagement: Push forward and down completely on the engagement

POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Loading the mower onto a trailer without strong
enough or properly supported ramps could be
dangerous.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ The ramps could collapse causing the unit to fall,
which could cause injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Use proper ramps that are secured to the truck or
trailer.
♦ Keep feet and legs out from under the unit when
loading and unloading.
♦ If necessary, use assistance when loading.
Use a heavy duty trailer to transport the machine. Engage neutral lock latches
and block wheels. Securely fasten the machine to the trailer with straps,
chains, cables or ropes. Use a safety chain and be sure that the trailer has all
necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
POTENTIAL HAZARD

could start the engine.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Accidental starting of the engine could seriously injure
you or other bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Remove the key from the ignition switch and pull the
wire(s) off the spark plug(s) before you do any
maintenance. Also push the wire(s) aside so it does
not accidentally contact the spark plug(s).
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ The engine can become very hot.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Touching a hot engine can cause severe burns.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Allow the engine to cool completely before service or
making repairs around the engine area.
