TRANSPORTING

BEFORE LOADING

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes
before loading the mower on the transport vehicle. A hot engine and
exhaust system can burn you and can ignite some materials.

Turn the fuel valve to OFF (page 21). This will prevent carburetor
flooding and reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

If equipped, remove the grass bag.

LOADING AND UNLOADING

If a suitable loading ramp is not available, two people should lift the
mower on and off the transport vehicle while holding the mower level.

Position the mower so all four wheels are on the bed of the transport
vehicle. Tie the mower down with rope or straps, and block the wheels.
Keep the tie-down rope or straps away from the controls, adjustment
levers, cables, and the carburetor.

The handlebar can be folded so the mower will take up less space (see
page 44).

HRZ Model

Put the front wheels in the LOCK position to decrease mower
movement while in transit (page 10).
