Pushing the Machine by Hand
Important Always push the machine by hand. Never
tow the machine because hydraulic damage may occur.
Pushing the Machine
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the
ignition key to off. Move the levers to the neutral
locked position and apply the parking brake.
2. Rotate the by-pass valves counterclockwise 1 turn to
push. This allows the hydraulic fluid to by-pass the
pump enabling the wheels to turn (Fig. 28).
Important Do not rotate the by-pass valves more than
1 turn. This prevents the valves from coming out of the
body and causes fluid to run out.
3. Disengage the parking brake before pushing.
Changing to Machine Operation
1. Rotate the by-pass valves clockwise 1 turn to operate
machine (Fig. 28).
Note: Do not over tighten the by–pass valves.
Note: The machine will not drive unless the by-pass
valves are turned in.

Using the Side Discharge
The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
Danger
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.
