After Operation
After Operation Safety
•
Park the machine on a level surface; engage the
parking brake; shut off the engine; remove the key;
and wait for all movement to stop before leaving
the machine.
•
Clean grass and debris from the muffler and
engine compartment to help prevent fires. Clean
up oil or fuel spills.
•
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.
•
Replace all worn or damaged decals.
Moving a Non-Functioning
Machine
If you must tow or push the machine, open the bypass
valves to bypass the hydraulic fluid.
Important:
Do not move the machine without
first opening the bypass valves on the hydraulic
pumps, otherwise you could damage motor
components.
Do not move the machine faster than 4.8 km/h (3
mph); only move machines a very short distance.
If you must move the machine more than a short
distance, transport it on a trailer. If you exceed
towing limits, severe damage to the hydraulic
pumps may result.
CAUTION
The wheels can move freely when the bypass
valves are opened. The machine can roll
uncontrolled, possibly causing injury.
If you must tow the machine, move slowly and
ensure that the machine does not collide with
the towing vehicle.
1.
Raise the mid-mount attachment and optional
rear attachment.
2.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, engage the
parking brake, and chock the wheels.
3.
Wait for all moving parts to stop and allow
machine components to cool.
4.
If attached, remove the optional rear attachment.
5.
Access the bypass valves from under the rear of
the machine.
6.
With a 5/8 wrench, open the bypass valve on
the bottom of the hydraulic pump by turning the
valve approximately 2 full rotations as shown in .

bottom of the other hydraulic pump.
Note:
The wheels can now spin freely.
Important:
Do not rotate bypass valves
more than 2 turns; this prevents the valves
from falling out of the pump and ensures that
hydraulic fluid does not spill.
