After Operation
After Operation Safety
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting units,
mufflers, and engine compartment to help prevent
fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
If the cutting units are in the transport position, use
the positive mechanical lock (if available) before
you leave the machine unattended.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in any enclosure.
•
Shut off the fuel before storing or transporting the
machine.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or on other appliances.
•
Keep all parts of the machine in good working
condition and all hardware tightened, especially
blade-attachment hardware.
•
Replace all worn or damaged decals.
Identifying the Tie-Down
Points
•
Front of the machine—the hole in the rectangular
pad, under the axle tube, inside each front tire
(Figure
55).

•
Rear of the machine—each side
of the machine on the rear frame
(Figure

Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, the machine can be moved
by actuating the bypass valve in the variable
displacement hydraulic pump and pushing or towing
the machine.
Important:
Do not push or tow the machine faster
than 3 to 4.8 km/h (2 to 3 mph) because internal
transmission damage may occur. The bypass
valve must be open whenever the machine is
pushed or towed.
1.
The bypass valve is located on the left side
of the hydrostat
1-1/2 turns to open and allow the oil to bypass
internally. Because fluid is bypassed, the
machine can be moved slowly without damaging
the transmission.
