12•1 MOVING THE MOWER WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OFF
• The by-pass allows the mower to be moved without using the engine.
• The red screw that activates the by-pass is accessible by lifting the
seat.
• Tighten the screw hard = transmission engaged.
• Unscrew the screw full turns = transmission disengaged.
• Never attempt to drive the machine when the by-pass is open (disen-
gaged position).
12•2 TOWING OF THE MACHINE IN
THE EVENT OF A BREAKDOWN
• Place the transmission in the disengaged position.
• Use only an approved towbar to be fixed onto the towing hook situated
at the front of the machine (a picture 37).
• Do not use any other towing points.
CAUTION!
The disengaged position must only be used
over short distances and at a low speed (< 5 kmph). After
moving the machine, do not forget to put the transmission on
the engaged position once again.
• If it is necessary to move the broken-down machine over a consi-
derable distance, please use an adequate means of transport (trailer,
truck....).
TRANSPORT
Mowers can cause severe injuries through being crushed
under their weight. Be extremely careful during loading or
unloading for transport by vehicle or trailer.
If the mower is transported on a trailer or truck:
• Secure your mower using straps passed through the side supports and
the towing hook (picture 38).
• Put on the parking brake.
