General Safety
• P ark mac hine on lev el g round, diseng ag e dri v es ,
set parking brak e , stop engine , remo v e k ey or
disconnect spark plug wire . W ait for all mo v ement
to stop and allo w the mac hine to cool before
adjusting, cleaning, re pairing, or storing . Nev er
allo w untrained personnel to ser vice mac hine .
• Clean the mac hine as stated in the Maintenance
section. K ee p engine and engine area free from
accum ulation of g rass , lea v es , ex cessi v e g rease
or oil, and other debris whic h can accum ulate
in these areas . T hese materials can become
combustible and ma y result in a re .
• F requently c hec k for w or n or deteriorating
components that could create a hazard. Tighten
loose hardw are .
T ransporting
T ransporting the Machine
Use a hea vy-duty trailer or tr uc k to transpor t the
mac hine . Ensure that the trailer or tr uc k has all
necessar y lighting and marking as required b y la w .
T horoughly read all of the safety instr uctions .
Kno wing this infor mation could help y ou, y our
family , pets , or b ystanders a v oid injur y .
T o transpor t the mac hine:
• Use full width ramps when loading the mac hine .
• Eng ag e the park brak e , then bloc k the wheels . Do
Not rely solely on the parking brak e to hold the
mac hine on the trailer .
• Securely fasten the mac hine to the trailer or tr uc k
with straps , c hains , cable , or ropes . If possible ,
both front and rear straps should be directed
do wn and outw ard from the mac hine .
• Secure a trailer to the to wing v ehicle with safety
c hains .
W ARNING
Dri ving on the str eet or r oad w ay without tur n
signals, lights, r eecti v e mar kings, or a slo w
mo ving v ehicle emblem is danger ous and can
lead to accidents causing per sonal injur y .
Do not dri v e machine on a public str eet or
r oad w ay .
Loading the Machine
Use extreme caution when loading mac hines on
trailers or tr uc ks . One full width ramp that is
wide enough to extend bey ond the rear tires is
recommended instead of indi vidual ramps for eac h
side of the mac hine . A full width ramp pro vides a
surface to w alk on behind the mac hine . If it is not
possible to use one full width ramp , use enough
indi vidual ramps to sim ulate a full width contin uous
ramp .
A stee p ramp angle ma y cause components to g et
caught as the mac hine mo v es from ramp to trailer or
tr uc k. Stee per angles ma y also cause the mac hine to
tip bac kw ard. If loading on or near a slope , position
the trailer or tr uc k so it is on the do wn side of the
slope and the ramps extends up the slope . T his will
minimize the ramp angle . T he trailer or tr uc k should
be as lev el as possible .
Important: Do Not attempt to tur n the machine
while on the ramp , y ou may lose contr ol and
dri v e of f the side.
A v oid sudden acceleration when dri ving up a ramp
and sudden deceleration when bac king do wn a
ramp . Both maneuv ers can cause the mac hine to tip
bac kw ard.
