11. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER
Before transporting tractor between locations, idle the
tractor engine, disengage the attached head, by
pushing the ON-OFF switch (Mower Valve) and wait for
all head motion to come to a complete stop. Place the
boom in its storage cradle rest support.
Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you
finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when
transporting the tractor between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport procedures, the
possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.
DANGER! Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or
Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

WARNING! Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before driving on
public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your operating position,
mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see the area where you will
be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to maintain adequate vision of the public
roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or even death.
