TOWING MOWER ____________________________________________________
If the mower experiences problems and a trailer is not available, the unit can be towed slowly for short distances.
1. The parking brake must be disengaged.
• Disconnect battery pack electrical connector.
• Disconnect brake electrical connector (ZX).
• Connect brake release harness to battery pack and brake. The parking brake should disengage.
• If the battery pack does not have enough power to disengage the brake, remove three screws (ZY) and remove the
parking brake (ZZ) from the drive motor.
2. Open hood, remove four thumbscrews (ZU), and lift steering cover (ZV) off mower.
3. Remove steering chain master link (ZW). Remove chain from steering motor.
4. Attach tow bar accessory, Part No. 62811, to rear steering yoke (Refer to tow bar instruction sheet). Do not use tow
strap to tow mower. Connect other end of tow bar to towing vehicle equipped with 1-7/8 in. ball hitch and vehicle tow
bar 10-15 in. (25.4 - 38.1cm) from ground.
5. Before towing make sure reels are raised. If they cannot be raised, remove them from the mower.
6. Make certain key switch is in off position and key is removed.
• Use caution when towing. Avoid steep inclines. Steep inclines may cause tow bar to contact and damage hood and
hood hinges. To prevent damage to steering yoke, avoid turns that will cause rear wheel to turn more than 55° in
either direction.

ing or unloading a disabled mower on trailer. Mower

out use of winch or similar device to restrain mower.

without assistance from mower brakes.
