To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to "OFF" to stop the engine.
2. Rotate the by-pass valves counterclockwise 1 turn to
push. This allows hydraulic fluid to by-pass the pump
enabling the wheels to turn (Fig. 15).
Important
Do not rotate by–pass valves more than 1
turn. This prevents valves from coming out of the body
and causing fluid to run out.
To Operate the Machine
1. Turn the by-pass valves in to operate (Fig. 15).
Note: The machine will not drive unless by-pass valves
are turned in.

Side Discharge
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
Never remove the grass deflector from the
mower because the grass deflector routes
material down toward the turf. If the grass
deflector is ever damaged, replace it
immediately.
Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the power take off
(PTO) to "OFF" and rotate the ignition key to
"OFF." Also remove the key and pull the wire
off the spark plug(s).
Transporting Machines
Use a heavy–duty trailer or truck to transport the machine.

Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting
and marking as required by law. Please carefully read all
the safety instructions on pages 3–13. Knowing this
information could help you, your family, pets or
bystanders avoid injury.
To transport the machine:
Lock brake and block wheels.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with
straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
Secure a trailer to towing vehicle with safety chains.
Driving on street or roadway without turn signals,
lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving
vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to
accidents causing personal injury.
Do not drive machine on a public street or
roadway.
Loading Machines
Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or
trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend
beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual
ramps for each side of the unit. The lower rear section of
