23. Disengage power to the attachments when
transporting or when not in use.
24. The machine and attachments should be stopped
and inspected for damage after striking a foreign
object, and damage should be repaired before
restarting and operating the machine.
CAUTION
Do not touch the engine or the muffler while the
engine is running or immediately after stopping.
These areas may be hot enough to cause a
burn.
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine inside a building or
a confined area without proper ventilation.
Exhaust fumes are hazardous and contain
carbon monoxide which can cause brain injury
and death.
25. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
2.9 TRANSPORTING THE MOWER
1. Transport the mower using a heavy duty trailer
or truck. Insure the trailer or truck has all of the
necessary lighting and markings as required by
laws, codes, and ordinances. Secure a trailer with a
safety chain.
2. Be cautious when loading and unloading onto
trailers or trucks. Use only a full width ramp. Ramp
angle should be no more than 15 degrees. Back up
the ramp and drive down forward.
3. When transporting the mower, make sure the park
brake is engaged, the steering control levers are in
the neutral position, the engine is off with the key
removed, and the wheels have been blocked.
4. Tie the mower down securely using straps, chains,
cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps must be
directed down and outward from machine.
WARNING
Be cautious when loading and unloading onto
trailers or trucks.
Use only a full width ramp.
Ramp angle should be no more than 15 Degrees.
See Figure 2-1 to help determine approximate
slope.
Back up the ramp and drive down forward.
2.10 MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS &
STORAGE
1. Never make adjustments to the machine with the
engine running unless specifically instructed to do
so. If the engine is running, keep hands, feet, and
clothing away from moving parts.
2. Disengage drives, lower implement, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key or disconnect
spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting of the
engine when servicing or adjusting the machine.
Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting,
cleaning or repairing.
3. Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire before
making any repairs. Disconnect the negative terminal
first and the positive last. Reconnect the positive first
and the negative last.
4. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight, to ensure the
machine is in safe working condition. Check blade
mounting bolts frequently to be sure they are tight.
5. Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. See the engine operator's
manual for information on engine settings.
