After Operation
General Safety
•
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all movement to stop before you leave the
operator's position. Allow the machine to cool
before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
•
Clean grass and debris from the cutting units,
mufflers, and engine compartment to help prevent
fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills.
•
If the cutting units are in the transport position, use
the positive mechanical lock (if available) before
you leave the machine unattended.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine
in any enclosure.
•
Remove the key and shut off the fuel (if equipped)
before storing or hauling the machine.
•
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.
•
Maintain and clean the seat belt(s) as necessary
Pushing or Towing the
Machine
In an emergency, you can move the machine
forward by actuating the bypass valve in the
variable-displacement hydraulic pump and pushing or
towing the machine.
Important:
Do not push or tow the machine faster
than 3 to 4.8 km/h (2 to 3 mph) If you push or tow
at a faster speed, internal transmission damage
may occur.
The bypass valves must be open whenever you
push or tow the machine.
1.
Raise the seat and locate the bypass valves,
which are located below the front of the fuel tank
(Figure
72).
1. Bypass valve (2)
2.
Rotate each valve 3 counter-clockwise turns to
open and allow the fluid to bypass internally.
Note:
Do not open more than 3 turns. Because
the fluid is bypassed, the machine can be slowly
moved without damaging the transmission.
3.
Push or tow the machine.
4.
Finish pushing or towing the machine and close
the bypass valves. Torque the valve to 70 N∙m
(52 ft-lb).
Important:
Ensure that the bypass valve is
closed before you start the engine. Running
the engine with an open bypass valve causes
the transmission to overheat.
Important:
If you must push or tow the machine
in reverse, bypass the check valve in the 4-wheel
drive manifold.
To bypass the check valve, connect a hose
assembly to the reverse traction pressure test port
(located on the hydrostat) and on the port located
between ports M8 and P2 on the rear traction
manifold (located behind the front tire). The hose
assembly includes 1 hose (Part No. 95-8843), 2
coupler fittings (Part No. 95-0985), and 2 hydraulic
fittings (Part No. 340-77).
Locating the Jacking Points
DANGER
Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to
support machine and cause a serious injury.
• Use jack stands when supporting the
machine.
• Do not use hydraulic jacks.
