Use the metal tie-down loops on the machine to securely fasten the it to the trailer or truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes (Figure 36). DANGER Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or a complete grass-catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.
the slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This minimizes the ramp angle. WARNING Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of a tip-over and could cause serious injury or death. • Use extreme caution when operating a machine on a ramp. • Ensure that the ROPS is in the up position and use the seat belt when loading or unloading the machine. Ensure that the ROPS clears the top of an enclosed trailer.
Using the Z StandTM 4. The Z Stand raises the front end of the machine to allow you to clean the mower and remove the blades. Swing the stand foot out front and slide it toward machine, into the bottom of slot (Figure 39 and Figure 40). WARNING The machine could fall onto someone and cause serious injury or death. • Use extreme caution when operating the machine on the Z Stand. • Use only for cleaning the mower and removing the blades. g001812 Figure 40 1. Z Stand (positioned in slot) 3.
Driving off the Z Stand Operating Tips 1. Remove the chocks or blocks. 2. Raise the latch to the unlocked position (Figure 41). Using the Fast Throttle Setting For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate the engine at the FAST throttle position. Air is required to thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the height of cut so low as to totally surround the mower in uncut grass. Always try to have 1 side of the mower free from uncut grass, which allows air to be drawn into the mower.
Cutting Long Grass If the grass is ever allowed to grow slightly longer than normal, or if it contains a high degree of moisture, raise the cutting height higher than usual and cut the grass at this setting. Then cut the grass again using the lower, normal setting. Stopping If you must stop the forward motion of the machine while mowing, a clump of grass clippings may drop onto your lawn. To avoid this, move onto a previously cut area with the blades engaged.
