Using the Side Discharge

The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.

DANGER

Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.

Never remove the grass deflector from the mower
because the grass deflector routes material down
toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever
damaged, replace it immediately.

Never put your hands or feet under the mower.

Never try to clear the discharge area or mower
blades unless you move the blade-control switch
(PTO) to the O

FF

position, rotate the ignition

key to the O

FF

position, and remove the key.

Make sure that the grass deflector is in the down
position.

Transporting the Machine

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine.
Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary brakes,
lighting, and marking as required by law. Please carefully read
all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could
help you, your family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.

WARNING

Driving on the street or roadway without
turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a
slow-moving-vehicle emblem is dangerous and can
lead to accidents, causing personal injury.

Do not drive the machine on a public street or
roadway.

1.

If you are using a trailer, connect it to the towing
vehicle and connect the safety chains.

2.

If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.

3.

Load the machine onto the trailer or truck.

4.

Shut off the engine, remove the key, set the brake, and
close the fuel valve.

5.

Tie down the machine near the front caster wheels and
the rear bumper (

Figure 29

).

Figure 29

Loading the Machine

Use extreme caution when loading or unloading machines
onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp that is wider
than the machine for this procedure. Back the machine up the
ramp and drive it forward down the ramp (

Figure 30

).
