• Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass, leaves
and other debris that may have fastened on the

putting it in storage.
Transport
• The machine is heavy and can cause serious
crush injuries. Be especially careful when it is
loaded in or out of a car or on and off of a trailer.
• Use an approved trailer to transport the ma-
chine. Activate the parking brake, shutoff the fuel
supply and secure the machine using approved
fasteners, such as tension belts, chains or ropes
when transporting.

before transporting or driving the machine on
roads.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The parking brake is not sufficient to lock
the machine during transport. Ensure you
secure the machine firmly to the transport-
ing vehicle. Reverse the machine on to the
transporting vehicle to prevent it from
overturning.
