Bringing the Machine to
Neutral Position
Always set the neutral lock and parking brake when you
stop the machine.
1. Squeeze the drive levers to neutral position.
2. Set the neutral locks. Refer to Operating Neutral
Locks.
3. Move speed control lever to neutral position.
Note: The speed control lever can also be used to
bring the mower to neutral position and then set
the neutral locks.
Stopping the Machine
1. To stop the machine, squeeze the drive levers to
neutral position and engage neutral locks.
2. Move speed control lever into neutral.
3. Stop the engine; refer to Stopping the Engine.
4. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position. Set the parking brake.
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the machine while
it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
Pushing the Machine by Hand
The by-pass valves allow the machine to be pushed by
hand without the engine running.
Important: Always push the machine by hand.
Never tow the machine because hydraulic damage
may occur.
To Push the Machine
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control
levers to the neutral locked position and set the
parking brake.
2. Open the by-pass valves by turning them counter
clockwise 1 to 2 turns. This allows hydraulic fluid
to by-pass the pumps and the wheels to turn
(Figure 13).
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Push the machine to the desired location.
5. Set the parking brake.
6. Close the by-pass valves, but do not overtighten
them.
Note: Rotate the by-pass valves a maximum of 2
turns so the valve does not come out of the body
causing fluid to run out.
Important: Do not start or operate the
machine with the by-pass valves open. Damage
to system may occur.

Adjusting the Flow Baffle
The mower discharge flow can be adjusted for different
types of mowing conditions. Position the cam lock and
baffle to give the best quality of cut.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control
levers to the neutral locked position and set the
parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. To adjust the cam lock, swing the lever up to loosen
the cam lock (Figure 14).
4. Adjust the baffle and cam lock in the slot to the
desired discharge flow.
5. Swing the lever back over to tighten the baffle and
cam lock (Figure 14).
6. If the cam does not lock the baffle into place or it is
too tight, loosen the lever and then rotate the cam
lock. Adjust the cam lock until the desired locking
pressure is achieved.
