WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Ensure that the mode elected is appropriate to the mode of
operation of the machine.
Select ‘Work’ mode when operating the mower in conditions of poor traction when maximum tractive
performance is required. Selecting ‘Work’ mode will enable the use of the differential lock.
Select ‘Transport’ mode when operating the mower in conditions of good traction. For example when
travelling on the public highway or mowing large, level, open areas. Selecting ‘Transport’ mode in these
conditions will reduce transmission system wear and tear.
Differential lock is not available for use when ‘Transport’ mode is selected.
