height-of-cut lever for raising the mower. This
allows for easier raising of the mower.
1. Place your foot onto lift assist lever.
2. Press on the lift assist lever while pulling up on
the height-of-cut lever (Figure 25).

Pushing the Machine by
Hand
Important:
Always push the machine
by hand. Never tow the machine because
hydraulic damage may occur.
Pushing the Machine
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and
turn the ignition key to off. Move the levers
to neutral locked position and apply parking
brake. Remove the key.
2. Rotate the by-pass valves counterclockwise
1 turn to push. This allows hydraulic fluid to
by-pass the pump enabling the wheels to turn
(Figure 28).
Important:
Do not rotate by-pass valves
more than 1 turn. This prevents valves
from coming out of the body and causing
fluid to run out.
