WARNING
6.14 Loading and Unloading
Use extreme caution when loading and unloading units on/off trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that
extends beyond the rear tires is recommended rather than individual ramps for each side of the unit. The
ramp should be long enough so that the angles between the ramp and the trailer or truck does not exceed 15
degrees. A steeper angle may cause the mower deck components to get caught as the unit moves from
ramp to trailer or truck. Always put the deck in the transport (up & locked) position when loading or
unloading. Never attempt to turn the mower around on the ramp. Avoid sudden acceleration when driving
up a ramp and sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp.
6.15 Cleaning the Mower
The underside of the mower deck should be checked and cleaned twice daily and more often if the grass
being mowed is lush or wet. The entire mower should be cleaned daily at the end of the work day.
Cleaning should be done with a leaf blower or low-pressure compressed air. Wash with water only when
necessary and do not use a pressure washer or nozzle as the water can enter bearings and electrical
connections causing an electrical short, rust and corrosion. When washing with water, avoid spraying near
the hydro cap and do so when the unit has cooled down. Washing a hot machine can cause various unseen
system damage. If water is used for cleaning, immediately dry it with a leaf blower or low-pressure
compressed air and run with blades engaged for approximately 10 minutes. Once the wash is complete,
always lubricate and grease all applicable areas.
