After Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operator's position. Allow the machine to cool
before servicing, adjusting, fueling, cleaning, or
storing it.
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting unit,
muffler, drives, grass catcher, and engine
compartment to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or
fuel spills.
•
Shut off the fuel and remove the key before storing
or transporting the machine.

Clearing the Hopper Screen

Remove the screen by firmly lifting the screen handles
(Figure 26).
Pull the screen toward the back to remove it. As
needed, gently tap the screen to remove debris.
Note:
Excessive buildup on the screen can cause
the blower to plug.
Note:
In conditions where the screen clogs quickly,
you can turn and install the front removable screen
panel under the primary screen to allow free air flow
from the hopper.

Using the Drive-Wheel
Release Valves
WARNING
Hands may become entangled in the rotating
drive components below the engine deck,
which could result in serious injury.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow
all moving parts to stop before accessing the
drive-wheel-release valves.
WARNING
The engine and hydraulic-drive units can
become very hot. Touching a hot engine or
hydraulic-drive units can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine and hydraulic-drive units
to cool completely before accessing the
drive-wheel-release valves.
The drive-wheel release valves are located on the top,
left, front corner of the hydrostatic pumps.
1. Move the speed-control lever to the N
position to stop the machine.
2. Disengage the PTO lever, engage the parking
brake, shut off the engine, and wait for all
moving parts to stop.
3. Tilt the seat up to gain access to the pumps.
4. Rotate both release valves 1 turn
counterclockwise to release the drive
system.
Note:
This allows the hydraulic fluid to bypass
the pump, enabling the wheels to turn.
5. Disengage the parking brake before pushing
the machine.
Note:
Do not tow the machine.
6. Rotate the valves clockwise to run the machine.
Note:
Do not overtighten the valves.
