MOWER PREPARATION

TOOLS NEEDED: Safety glasses, leather gloves, wire cutters
1. Remove the upper crating material from the shipping pallet, and cut any bands
or tie straps securing the mower to the pallet.
2. Use the deck lift pedal (a) to raise the deck to its highest position and secure in
place with the clevis pin (b) attached to the mower. See Figure 1.
3. The two hydrostatic transmissions are equipped with a bypass valve that will
allow you to manually move the mower short distances.
4. Engage the transmission bypass valves by pulling the bypass lever (a) outward
then upward and all the way back. See Figure 2.

Do not tow the mower, even with the bypass valves engaged. Serious
transmission damage will result from doing so.
