Operating Tips

Becoming Familiar with the
Machine
Before mowing grass, practice operating the machine
in an open area. Start and shut off the engine.
Operate in forward and reverse. Lower and raise the
cutting units and engage and disengage the reels.
When you feel familiar with the machine, practice
operating up and down slopes at different speeds.
Understanding the Warning
System
If the InfoCenter displays an operator advisory or
a fault code during operation, stop the machine
immediately and correct the problem before continuing
operation. Serious damage could occur if you operate
the machine with a malfunction.

Pushing or Towing the
Machine
WARNING
While the tow bypass valve is open, the
machine could unintentionally move, and
injure you or bystanders.
When you are not pushing or towing the
machine, engage the parking brake.
In an emergency, you can move the machine by
opening tow bypass valve of the traction hydraulic
pump, installing a hydraulic hose to bypass the check
valve, and then pushing or towing the machine.
If you need to push or tow your machine, you may
need to move it both forward and in reverse. To ensure
that the drive system does not become damaged from
pushing or towing, it is best to prepare the machine
for both forward and reverse pushing or towing.
