Children or bystanders may be injured if
they move or attempt to operate the machine
while it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Pushing the Machine by
Hand
The by-pass valves allow the machine to be pushed
by hand without the engine running.
Important: Always push the machine
by hand. Never tow the machine because
hydraulic damage may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control
levers to the neutral locked position and set
the parking brake.
2. Open the by-pass valves by turning them
counter clockwise 1 to 2. This allows hydraulic
fluid to by-pass the pumps and the wheels to
turn (Figure 23).
Note: Rotate the by-pass valves a maximum
of 2 turns so the valve does not come out of
the body causing fluid to run out.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Push the machine to the desired location.
5. Set the parking brake.
6. Close the by-pass valves, but do not overtighten
them.
Important: Do not start or operate the
machine with the by-pass valves open.
Damage to system may occur.

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:
• Stop the engine, remove the key, lock the brake,
close the fuel valve and block the wheels.
• Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or
truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
• Secure a trailer to the towing vehicle with
safety chains.
Using the Side Discharge
This mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward
the turf.
