Using the Side Discharge
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that
disperses clippings to the side and down toward
the turf.
Without the 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 power
take off (PTO) to the off position, rotate
the ignition key to off and remove the
key.
• Make sure the grass deflector is in the
down position.
Transporting Machines
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary 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.
To transport the machine:
• Lock the brake and block the wheels.
• Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or
truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes.
• Secure a trailer to the towing vehicle with
safety chains.
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 machine on a public street
or roadway.
Loading Machines
Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers
or trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough
to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended
instead of individual ramps for each side of the
unit (Figure 30). The lower rear section of the
tractor frame extends back between the rear
wheels and serves as a stop for tipping backward.
Having a full width ramp provides a surface for the
frame members to contact if the unit starts to tip
backward. If it is not possible to use one full width
ramp, use enough individual ramps to simulate a
full width continuous ramp.
The ramp should be long enough so that the
angles do not exceed 15 degrees (Figure 30). A
steeper angle may cause mower components to get
caught as the unit moves from ramp to trailer or
truck. Steeper angles may also cause the unit to tip
backward. If loading on or near a slope, position
the trailer or truck so it is on the down side of the
slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This
will minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck
should be as level as possible.
Important:
Do Not attempt to turn the unit
while on the ramp; you may lose control and
drive off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp
and sudden deceleration when backing down a
ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the unit to tip
backward.
