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 18 ).
Note:
Avoid the steering components and mower
deck parts when tying down the machine at the front
caster wheels.
Figure 18
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 19 ).

ramp.
2. Drive the machine forward
down the ramp
Important:
Do not use narrow individual ramps for
each side of the machine.
Ensure that the ramp is long enough so that the angle with
the ground does not exceed 15 degrees (
Figure 20 ). On flat
ground, this requires a ramp to be at least 4 times as long as
the height of the trailer or truck bed to the ground. A steeper
angle may cause mower components to get caught as the unit
moves from the ramp to the trailer or truck. Steeper angles
may also cause the machine to tip or lose control. If loading
on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so that it is
on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the
slope. This minimizes the ramp angle.
