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. 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 45).
