Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or
boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals
should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures
that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping,
especially when making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of
the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road
speeds.
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. Once
all mower parts are completely stopped, raise the mower
to transport height. NOTE: When raising the mower,
maintain at least 1” clearance between the driveline
and mower deck. If additional mower deck height is
needed for safe transport, disconnect the driveline from
the tractor and secure its end to the mower deck. The
mower can then be raised to the maximum lift height.
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.
