WARNING: Do not drive the machine, without trans-
port wheels, when it is on anything but turf if the
transport wheels are not installed. The rear roller and
the roller shaft may become damaged resulting in
abnormal rotation.
1. Set the throttle to the “slow” position.
2. Grip the operator handle with one hand and engage the
traction drive lever slowly.

Transporting the Model 50, on a vehicle, requires two or
more people to load and unload the machine onto the transport
vehicle.
WARNING: Make sure there are no bystanders close
to the unit when loading or unloading to prevent
injury.
WARNING: When loading or unloading onto a trans-
port vehicle the engine must be shutoff. The unit must
not be loaded or unloaded using it’s own power. It
should be maneuvered manually.
WARNING: Do not attempt to grab the unit in the
area near the cutting reel or bedknife when lifting the
unit by hand. The reel and bedknife are very sharp
and can cause injury.
WARNING: Take care that the machine does not fall
from the loading ramp or off of the transport vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Attach the transport tires before the machine
is loaded or unloaded onto a transport vehicle. Otherwise, the
rear roller and it’s shaft may become damaged.
To load or unload on a transport vehicle use the following
procedure:
1. Make sure the traction drive lever and the cutting reel
drive lever are in the disengaged position.
2. The engine is turned off and the fuel shutoff valve is in
the “closed” position.
3. Use a full width ramp to load/unload the machine.
4. With one person controlling the brake lever, both people
should carefully pull the machine up the ramp and onto
the vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Pull the machine, do not push it, up the
ramp.
5. Secure the machine to the transporting vehicle.
