Using a Rollover Protection
System (ROPS)
A ROPS is available and its use is recommended for areas
where there are slopes, drop–offs or water. Contact an
Authorized Service Dealer for information on obtaining
ROPS for your machine.
Important
When operating a machine with ROPS
always use the seat belt.
Operating with Grass Deflector
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf. Refer to
Installing the Grass Deflector on page 16.
Make sure the side discharge blades are used when in side
discharge mode.
Important
Do not use side discharge blades while in
recycling mode.
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
1
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blades and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
m–6279
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.
Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to off and rotate the ignition key to off.
Also remove the key and pull the wire off the
spark plugs.
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 and decals. Knowing this
information could help you, your family, pets or
bystanders avoid injury.
To transport the machine:
Lock brake and block wheels.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with
straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
Secure a trailer to towing vehicle with safety chains.
Driving on street or roadway without turn signals,
lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving
vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to
accidents causing personal injury.
Do not drive machine on a public street or
roadway.
