WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

♦ Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the possibility of

backward tip-over.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

♦ Backward tip-over of the unit could cause serious injury or

death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

♦ Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp.

♦ Use only a single, full width ramp; DO NOT use individual

ramps for each side of the unit.

♦ If individual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to

create an unbroken ramp surface wider than the unit.

♦ DO NOT exceed a 15° angle between ramp and ground or

between ramp and trailer or truck.

♦ Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit up a ramp to

avoid tipping backward.

♦ Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit down a ramp to

avoid tipping backward.

5.4.2 Loading a Unit: Empty grass bags before attempting to load unit on trailer or

truck. Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width

ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is required instead of

individual ramps for each side of the unit. The lower rear section of the tractor frame

extends back between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for tipping backward.

Having a full width ramp provides a surface for the frame members to contact if the

unit starts to tip backward. If it is not possible to use one full width ramp, use enough

individual ramps to simulate a full width continuous ramp.

Ramp should be long enough so that the angles between the ramp and the ground and

the ramp and the trailer or truck do not exceed 15°. A steeper angle may cause mower

deck components to get caught as the unit moves from ramp to trailer or truck. Steeper

angles may also cause the unit to tip backward. If loading on or near a slope, position

the trailer or truck so it is on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the

slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should be as level as

possible.

DO NOT attempt to turn the unit while on the ramp, you may lose control and drive

off the side.

Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and sudden deceleration when

backing down a ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the unit to tip backward.

6. MAINTENANCE:

6.1 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Before conducting any maintenance, shut off deck drive, stop engine and

wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove spark plug wire(s) or remove

key.

6.1.1 Blower Housing/Impeller Service Interval: Daily.

Inspect for wear or damage daily. Replace or repair worn parts as needed.

Note: When mowing in areas with sandy soil, use low lift blades on the cutting

deck and higher cutting heights to minimize wear on the blower components.
