LOADING THE LAWNMOWER

CAUTION:

• To prevent losing control of or damaging the lawnmower, do not 

use the drive system when going up or down a loading ramp.

• To prevent damaging the drive system, do not engage the clutch 

when the lawnmower is rolling backwards.

• Transport the lawnmower in normal horizontal position with its 

4 wheels flat on the vehicle platform.

• We recommend that you use a loading ramp or that you get 

someone to help you load and unload the lawnmower.

• Adjust the loading ramp so that it is inclined at an angle of less 

than 15° (26%).

• When transporting the lawnmower, immobilise it using straps and 

place chocks under the wheels.

• The straps must not touch the following parts of the lawnmower: 

throttle lever, cutting-means control lever, gas tank and all the 

control cables.
