Transport and storage

Transport
IMPORTANT! The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the
machine during transport. Ensure you secure the machine
firmly to the transporting vehicle.
The machine is heavy and can cause serious crush injuries.
Take extra care when loading it onto or off a vehicle or trailer.
• Use an approved trailer to transport the machine.
• Check and observe local road traffic regulations before
transporting or driving the machine on roads.
• To secure the machine on the trailer, two approved
tension belts and four wedge shaped wheel blocks should
be used.
• Engage the parking brake and tie the tension belts around
stable parts on the machine, e.g. frame or rear wagon.
Secure the machine by tensioning the belts towards the
back and the front of the trailer respectively.
• Place the wheel blocks in front of and behind the rear
wheels.
Winter storage
At the end of the season, or if the machine is going to stand
idle for more than 30 days, it should immediately be made
ready for storage.
To prepare the machine for storage follow these instructions:
1 Carefully clean the machine, especially under the cutting
unit. Touch-up paint damage to avoid rust.
2 Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and
tighten loose screws and nuts.
3 Lubricate all joints and shafts.
4 Clean and maintenance charge the battery.
5 Store the ride-on mower in a frost-free, clean, dry place
and cover it for extra protection.
Extend the battery life by maintenance charge the battery
once every three months .
