Transporting Material Collection System (If
Equipped)
If the material collection system is left on the machine during transport,
follow these guidelines when trailering the unit:
● Empty the cloth bags and remove them from the hopper. Full bags
add extra weight which can overstress the hopper frame on rough
roads. At road travel speeds, wind can cause premature wear of the
cloth bags.
● Make sure that the hopper cover is latched securely to the hopper
frame.
● If the unit is transported over long distances or at high speeds,
remove the rear bagger or power ow chute before transport.

Using Weights
CAUTION: Avoid injury! The machine may become unstable
when operating on slopes and/or with some attachments.
Use weights to improve stability when operating on slopes
or using attachments.
Remove weights when not required.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Never use liquid in tires or wheel
weights as ballast. Transmission damage can occur.
When rear ballast is needed, use only the approved rear
weight bracket and attaching weights.
NOTE: See your authorized dealer for recommended weights.
● Install front weights for added stability and steering control when
you use equipment, such as the rear-mounted grass bagger.
● Install rear weights when using the snow blade or snowblower.
● Remove weights when not required.
