Moving the Mower With Stalled Engine
If it becomes necessary to move the mower when the
engine is inoperative, the hydraulic pumps are equipped with
bypass valves. Figure 3-6
The bypass valve is located near the top on each hydraulic
pump and is identified as a hex stud.
Before moving the unit:
• Rotate the bypass valves counterclockwise one-half to
one revolution. Figure 3-6
• Place the steering control levers in the neutral posi-
tion.
• Place the park brake lever in the disengaged position
to release the park brake.
Do not tow the machine. Move it by hand or use a winch to
load on a trailer for transporting.
When transporting on another vehicle, the mower should
be facing forward and it must be secured using the tie-down
points. Figure 3-7
Close the fuel shut-off valve when transporting or storing
the mower.
Always make certain the two bypass valves are returned to
their operating position before attempting to use the mower
following repairs.
Mower Operation
This mower features the SmoothTrak™ steering system.
The following provides you with detailed information on how
to operate the mower efficiently.
Driving the Mower
After starting the engine, engage the steering control
levers and steer as follows:
To go forward, push the steering control levers forward an
equal distance. Figure 3-8
To go in reverse, pull the steering control levers rearward
an equal distance. Figure 3-8
To turn left, move the right steering control lever farther
forward from neutral than the left steering control lever.
To turn right, move the left steering control lever farther
forward from neutral than the right steering control lever.
Figure 3-8
Zero radius turn, move one steering control lever forward
and the other steering control lever back of neutral. This
allows the drive wheels to counter-rotate. Figure 3-8
To stop or decrease speed, move steering control levers to
neutral. When going forward pull back gently on steering
control levers. When going in reverse push forward gently on
steering control levers.
For emergency stops, when traveling forward or rearward,
place the steering control levers in the neutral position and
move the park brake lever to the engaged park brake position
immediately.

Never make sudden stops or reverse direction,
especially when maneuvering on a slope. The
steering is designed for sensitive response. Rapid
movement of the control levers in either direction
could result in a reaction of the mower that can
cause serious injury.
When moving in the rearward direction push
forward gently on steering control levers and avoid
sudden movement. Any sudden movement could
cause the front of the mower to come off of the
ground resulting in possible loss of control,
causing serious injury or death.
