Pushing the Machine by Hand

The by–pass valve allows the machine to be pushed by
hand with the engine not running for easier servicing.
Important Always push the machine by hand. Never
tow the machine because hydraulic damage may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Move the speed control lever to neutral.
2. Disengage the power take off (PTO) by releasing the
OPC levers and turn the ignition key to Off.
3. Open the by-pass valves, by turning them counter
clockwise 1 to 2 turns, to push the machine. This
allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the pump and the
wheels to turn (Fig. 18).

1. By-pass valve
Important Rotate by-pass valve a maximum of 2 turns
so the valve does not come out of the body causing fluid
to run out.
To Operate the Machine
To operate the machine, ensure the by–pass valves are
closed.
Note: The machine will not drive unless by-pass valves
are closed.

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.
To transport the machine:
Set the parking brake.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with
straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
Secure a trailer to towing vehicle with safety chains.

Side Discharge or Mulch Grass

This mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
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.
m–6576 Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you release the bail and the power
take off (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition key to
Off. Also remove the key and pull the wire off
the spark plug(s).
