Operating Tips

Becoming Familiar with the Machine
• Before mowing grass, practice operating the machine in an open area.
• Start and shut off the engine.
• Operate in forward and reverse.
• Lower and raise the cutting units and engage and disengage the cutting units.
• When you become more familiar with the machine, practice operating up and down
slopes at different speeds.
Overview of the Warning System
If the InfoCenter displays an operator advisory or a fault code during operation, stop the
machine immediately and correct the problem before continuing operation. Serious damage
could occur if you operate the machine with a malfunction.

After Operation

Pushing or Towing the Machine

While the tow bypass valve is open, the machine could unintentionally move,
resulting in death or serious injury.
When you are not pushing or towing the machine, engage the parking brake.
In an emergency, you can move the machine by opening tow bypass valve of the traction
hydraulic pump, installing a hydraulic hose to bypass the check valve, and then pushing or
towing the machine.
If you need to push or tow your machine, you may need to move it both forward and in
reverse. To ensure that the drive system does not become damaged from pushing or towing,
it is best to prepare the machine for both forward and reverse pushing or towing.
