TRANSPORTING and STORING

There is one very important thing to

remember when transporting your

mower: when you open the pump

bypass valves to move the mower

without the running engine, you

disable all braking action. For this

reason:

Always close both pump bypass valves after moving the

mower by hand.

Always drive the mower under its own power on any

incline.

If you must move the mower on an incline without

running the engine, use a suitable device (winch,

block &

tackle, come-a-long). Remember that the mower weighs

over 600 pounds.

When moving the mower without running the engine, do

not move it at more than a walking speed or more than

100 yards. Be sure the bypass valves are open at least

one turn but not more than two turns.

See page 24 for more information on operating the bypass

valves.

Transporting your Mower

Use a loading ramp to get the mower on and off the vehicle.

Be sure both the ramps and vehicle are able to support the

weight of the mower and operator.

When the mower is in position, turn the fuel valve OFF to

prevent the possibility of fuel leaking.

Tie the mower down, front and rear, with ropes or straps.

You may use the front caster brackets and the rear cross

member to tie the mower down. Be careful not to damage

hoses or linkages when tightening the ropes or straps.

Remember that the engine and exhaust system, become hot

during operation. Avoid touching them.
