13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER
Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the
tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all
mower moving parts to come to a complete stop. Raise
the mower wings and secure in position with transport
lock braces. When transporting, only raise the center
deck enough to clear ground obstacles to prevent
tipping, especially when traveling through rough terrain.
If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of
the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to
have hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline
from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline
to the mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss
during transport.
Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you
finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when
transporting the tractor and mower between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport
procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.
DANGER!
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or
Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
