TRANSPORTING

BEFORE LOADING

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes
before loading the mower on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and
exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.

1. If installed, remove the grass bag.

2. Put the throttle in the STOP

position.

3. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF

position. This will prevent carburetor
flooding and reduce the possibility of
fuel leakage.

LOADING AND UNLOADING

If a suitable loading ramp is not available, two people should lift the
mower on and off the transport vehicle while holding the mower level.

Position the mower so all four wheels are on the bed of the transport
vehicle. Tie the mower down with rope or straps, and block the wheels.
Keep the tie-down rope or straps away from the controls, adjustment
levers, cables, and the carburetor.
