4. Stop the engine, remove the key and wait
for all moving parts to stop.
5. Place the rollers in one of the positions
shown. Rollers will maintain 3/4 inch (19
mm) clearance to the ground to minimize
gouging and roller wear or damage.
For cutting heights above 3.5 inches (90 mm)
use the bottom hole. The rollers will still be
effective against scalping.
For Maximum Deck flotation, place the rollers
one hole position lower. Rollers should
maintain 1/4 (6.4 mm) clearance to the ground.
Do Not adjust the rollers to support the deck.
Note: The foot operated deck lift assist lever
can be used to momentarily lift the deck to clear
objects. Be sure that PTO is disengaged.

TRANSPORTING

TRANSPORTING A UNIT

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Lock brake and block wheels.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or
truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes. Be
sure that the trailer or truck has all necessary
lighting and marking as required by law.
Secure a trailer with a safety chain.
CAUTION
This unit does not have proper turn signals,
lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving
vehicle emblem. Driving on a street or
roadway without such equipment is
dangerous and can lead to accidents
causing personal injury. Driving on a street
or roadway without such equipment may
also be a violation of State laws and the
operator may be subject to traffic tickets
and/or fines.
Do Not drive a unit on a public street or
roadway.
WARNING
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip-over.
Backward tip-over could cause serious
injury or death.
Use extreme caution when operating a
unit on a ramp
Use only a single, full width ramp; Do
Not use individual ramps for each side of
the unit.
If individual ramps must be used, use
enough ramps to create an unbroken
ramp surface wider than the unit.
Do Not exceed a 15 degree angle
between ramp and ground or between
ramp and trailer or truck.
When possible, back machine onto
transport vehicle to avoid a rearward tip-
over.
