slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should be as level as possible. Important: Do not attempt to turn the unit while on the ramp; you may lose control and drive off the side. Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the unit to tip backward. WARNING Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of backward tip-over and could cause serious injury or death.
Transporting Machines Operating Tips Fast Throttle Setting/Ground Speed WARNING Driving on the 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. To maintain enough power for the machine and deck while mowing, operate the engine at the fast throttle position and adjust your ground speed for conditions.
To reduce the risk of fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler, battery compartment, parking brake, cutting units, and fuel storage compartment free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Clean up any spilled oil or fuel. Blade Maintenance Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season because a sharp blade cuts cleanly without tearing or shredding the grass blades. Tearing and shredding turns grass brown at the edges, which slows growth and increases the chance of disease.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
