After Operation

After Operation Safety

General Safety
•
Clean grass and debris from the machine to help
prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
Turn off the fuel-shutoff valve before storing or

transporting the machine.

•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in any enclosure.
•
Never store the machine or fuel container where
there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such
as on a water heater or on other appliances.
•
Use extreme care when loading or unloading the
machine into a trailer or truck.
Transporting the Machine
WARNING
Loading the machine onto a trailer without
strong enough or properly supported ramps
could be dangerous. The ramps could
collapse, causing the machine to fall, which
could cause injury.
• Use proper ramps that are secured to the
truck or trailer.
• Keep feet and legs out from under the
machine when loading and unloading.
• If necessary, use assistance when loading.
Be sure that the fuel shutoff valve is closed.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer with straps,
chains, cables, or ropes.
Be sure that the trailer has all necessary lighting and
marking as required by law, and use safety chains.
Disengaging the
Hydrostatic Drive
If you need to push the machine unpowered, you must
release the hydrostatic drive. To release the drive,
pull the hydrostatic-drive bypass lever
out and down, locking it in the out position. The front
wheels now rotate freely.
To engage the drive, pull up on the bypass lever until
it snaps back into the machine.
