11. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER
Before transporting tractor between locations, idle the
tractor engine, disengage the attached head, by
pushing the ON-OFF switch (Mower Valve) and wait for
all head motion to come to a complete stop. Place the
boom in its storage cradle rest support.
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 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. (SG-10)
Placing Boom Articulating Arm on Boom Arm Rest
1. Extend the dipper section approximately half way
out by pulling the third handle back.
2. Then pull the second (Lift) back toward the operator
lifting the arm about 3/4 (three-fourths) of the way
up.
3. After this position is accomplished, pull the first
handle (Swing) Back toward the operator until the
arm has swung over the rest located on the ROPS
near the top.
4. Now by operating the second handle (Lift) and/or
the third handle (Dipper) lower the arm onto the
rest.
5. There is a formed “V” plate on the dipper section of
the arm that fits onto the rest.
To remove from the transport position, pull the second
handle (Lift) back and raise the unit about 6” (inches).
Then swing the boom around to the side and you are
ready to mow. Transport slowly and carefully on slopes

Never allow children to play on or around the Tractor and Implement. Children can slip or fall off the
Equipment and be injured or killed. Children can cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing
themselves and others. (SG-25)

WARNING!
Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before driving on
public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your operating position,
mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see the area where you will
be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to maintain adequate vision of the public
roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or even death. (STI-10)
