Important: If the machine must to be
pushed or towed in reverse, the check valve
in the four-wheel drive manifold must also be
bypassed. To bypass the check valve, connect
a hose assembly (Hose Part No. 95-8843,
Coupler Fitting No. 95-0985 [Qty. 2], and
Hydraulic Fitting No. 340-77 [Qty. 2]) to the
reverse traction pressure test port (Figure 32)
and the reverse four-wheel drive pressure port
(Figure 33).

Jacking Points

There are jacking points located at the front and rear
of the machine.
• On the frame at the inside of each front drive tire
• At the center of the rear axle

Tie Downs

There are tie downs located at the front, rear and sides
of the machine.
• On each side of the frame by the side cutting unit
lift arms
• Front center of the operator's platform
• The rear bumper

Operating Characteristics

Practice driving the machine because it has a hydrostatic
transmission and its characteristics are different than
many turf maintenance machines. Some points to
consider when operating the traction unit, cutting
unit, or other implements are the transmission, engine
speed, load on the cutting blades or other implement
components, and the importance of the brakes.
To maintain enough power for the traction unit and
implement while operating, regulate the traction pedal
to keep the engine speed high and somewhat constant.
A good rule to follow is to decrease the ground speed
as the load on the implement increases, and increase the
ground speed as the load decreases.
Therefore, allow the traction pedal to move backward
as the engine speed decreases, and depress the pedal
slowly as the speed increases. By comparison, when
driving from one work area to another, with no load
and cutting unit raised, have the throttle in the Fast
30
