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 the OFF position. 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 vehi-
cle. 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 42).
