Operating with the Side Discharge Warning Driving on a street or roadway without turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to accidents that cause personal injury. The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses the clippings to the side and down toward the turf. Danger Do not drive the machine on a public street or roadway.
Mowing Direction the downside of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should be as level as possible. Alternate the mowing direction to keep the grass standing straight. This also helps disperse clippings, which enhances decomposition and fertilization. Important Do not attempt to turn the machine while on the ramp; you may lose control and drive off the side.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule Maintenance Service Interval After First 8 Hours Each Use Maintenance Procedure • Check the hydraulic fluid level. • Change the engine oil. • Change the hydraulic filter. • • • • Check the engine oil level.
