Towing the Machine
•
Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch
point.
•
Follow the attachment manufacturer's
recommendation for weight limits for towed
equipment and towing on slopes. Towed
weight must not exceed the weight of the
machine, operator, and ballast; otherwise
hydrostatic transmission failure may occur. Use
counterweights or wheel weights as described in
the attachment manufacturer's manual.
•
Never allow children or others in or on towed
equipment.
•
On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction, increased risk of rollover,
and loss of control. Reduce the towed weight and
slow down.
•
Stopping distance increases with the weight of the
towed load. Travel slowly and allow extra distance
to stop.
•
Make wide turns to keep the attachment clear of
the machine.
Pushing the Machine by
Hand
Important:
Always push the machine by hand.
Do not tow the machine, because towing may
damage it.
This machine has an electric-brake mechanism, and
to push the machine, the ignition key must be in the
RUN
position. The battery needs to be charged and
functioning to disengage the electric brake.
Pushing the Machine
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and engage the parking
brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Locate the bypass levers on the frame on both
sides of the engine.
4. Move the bypass levers forward through the key
hole and down to lock them in place (
Figure 35 ).
Note:
Do this for each lever.
5. Turn the ignition key on and disengage the
parking brake.
Note:
Do not start the machine.
