Moving the Unit with the Engine Off

If the mower engine stalls and will not restart, the unit can be

pushed or towed for short distances with the pump bypass

valves open. Do not exceed 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) when towing.

IMPORTANT: The bypass valves must be opened two full

turns (maximum) before the unit is moved (see figure 11).

Be sure the bypass valves are closed before running the

mower again. Failure to fully close the bypass valves before

operation could result in hydraulic system damage.

TOWING

The mower is designed for towing in light duty applications

only. Do not attempt to tow more than 300 lbs. (137 kg).

Tongue weight is not to exceed 30 lbs (13.61 kg).

LOADING THE MOWER

The loading ramp should be long enough that the angles

between the truck or trailer do not exceed 15 degrees. A

steeper angle may cause the mower deck components to

get hung up when moving the mower from ramp to truck or

trailer. If loading on or near a slope, position the truck or

trailer on the down side of the slope and the ramps should

extend up the slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The

trailer or truck should be parked as level as possible to

facilitate smooth loading of the mower.

TRANSPORTING THE MOWER

Use a heavy duty trailer or truck to transport the mower.

Make sure the trailer or truck has all of the necessary

lighting and markings as required by law.

Ariens Dealers will provide any service, parts or adjustments

which may be required to keep your unit operating at peak

efficiency. Should engine require service, contact an Ariens

or an authorized engine manufacturer's service center.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

IMPORTANT: Some working conditions (heavy loads, high

ambient temperatures, dusty conditions, or airborne debris)

may require more frequent service.

See engine manual for further maintenance and

troubleshooting information.

NOTE: To have full access to the engine, the seat must be

tipped forward (seeTipping Seat Forward on page 19) and

the hood opened.

WARNING: Exercise care when turning the

mower while towing. The mower will turn more

sharply than the towed object.

IMPORTANT: Attempting to tow more than

300 pounds (137 kg) with the Ariens mower will

lead to premature parts failure and void the

warranty.

Bypass Valves

WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when

loading and unloading the unit from a ramp.

Use only a single, full width ramp. If individual

ramps are necessary, use several to simulate a

single full width ramp. Use enough ramps to

create an unbroken ramp surface wider than

the unit.

Never exceed a 15 degree angle between the

ramps and the truck or trailer when loading the

mower.

Avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration of

the unit when loading and unloading the unit to

avoid the mower from tipping backward.

WARNING: When transporting the mower,

make sure the steering control levers are in the

park position, the wheels have been blocked,

the machine has been securely fastened by

cables, chains or ropes, and the trailer has

been secured to the towing vehicle with safety

chains.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and

understand entire Safety section before

proceeding.
