CAUTION: Avoid injury! Do not attempt to unplug
attachment with the machine running.
Rotating blades are dangerous. Shut o󰀨 the engine and
remove the key before getting o󰀨 the seat to inspect the

Thrown objects can cause serious injury. Make sure that

side, check for plugged chute, full collector bags, or problems with
blower assembly.

Transporting Machine on Trailer
NOTE: Trailer capacity must exceed combined machine weight and
attachment weight. (See Specications section in the operator’s
manual).
Be sure that trailer has all the necessary lights and signs required by
law.

unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck. Machine
wheels can go o󰀨 the ramp or trailer, causing the machine to
tip over.
To load, back slowly and in a straight line. Keep wheels
away from drop-o󰀨s and edges.
Do not use two separate loading ramps. Use a full width
loading ramp at least 30 cm (12 in) wider than machine to
keep caster wheels from going o󰀨 the ramp edge.
Use a trailer with sides.
1. Park trailer on a level surface.
2. Raise mower deck before driving machine onto trailer.
