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 29)
and the reverse four-wheel drive pressure port
(Figure 30).

Jacking Points

• On the front of the machine on the frame on the
inside of each drive tire
• On the rear of the machine at the center of the axle

Tie Downs

• 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 RPM 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 RPM decreases, and depress the pedal
slowly as the RPM increases. By comparison, when
driving from one work area to another, with no load
and cutting unit raised, have the throttle in the Fast
position and depress the traction pedal slowly but fully
to attain maximum ground speed.
The flow divider enhances traction drive performance
in compromised operating conditions. The flow divider
is for use in low speed range only. When approaching
an area known to cause wheel spin, depress and hold
flow divider switch until completely past the area. If
a tire spins while climbing or maneuvering on slopes,
depress switch and slowly drive out of area. If both
a front and rear wheel spins, the steering brake can
be feathered to transfer the torque from the spinning
wheels to opposite front wheel.
Another characteristic to consider is the operation
of the pedals that are connected to the brakes. The
brakes can be used to assist in turning the machine.
However, use them carefully, especially on soft or
wet grass because the turf may be torn accidentally.
