B. Make sure the traction pedal is in NEUTRAL and
the PTO switch is OFF (disengaged).

If movement is evident, the traction pedal linkage is
adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut engine off and
adjust traction pedal linkage until machine does not
move when traction pedal is released (see Opera-
tor’s Manual).
3. Do not run engine in a confined area without ade-
quate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.

nates the risk of the cutting decks unexpectedly lower-
ing to the ground.
