Moving Mower with Stalled Engine
If it becomes necessary to move the mower when the
engine is inoperable, the hydro-drives are equipped with
bypass valves. Before moving the unit, pull out on the
bypass valve rods and slide them into the slot to lock in
position. Both bypass valve rods are located at the rear of
the engine platform. Refer to Figure 2-7.
The control levers must be placed in the neutral position,
to release the park brakes, so that the mower can be
moved.
Do not tow the machine. Move it by hand or use a winch to
load on a trailer for transporting.
Driving the Mower
!
DANGER!
Never make sudden stops or sudden reversing of direction,
especially when going down a slope. The steering is designed
for sensitive response. Rapid movement of the control levers in
either direction could result in a reaction of the mower that can
cause serious injury.
Steering
Refer to Figure 2-8:
After starting engine, engage the control levers and steer
as follows:
To Go Forward:
Push control levers forward an equal distance.
To Go in Reverse:
Pull control levers rearward an equal distance.
To Turn Left:
Move the right control lever farther forward from neutral
than the left control lever.
To Turn Right:
Move the left control lever farther forward from neutral
than the right control lever.
To Pivot Turn:
Move one control lever forward and the other control lever
back of neutral, this will allow the drive wheels to counter-
rotate.
