21. Inspect the entire machine periodically
1
. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken
parts, and leaky or loose fittings.
22. Use only the driveline supplied with the mower. Do not use it if it is missing any
shield or safety protection.
23. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent "hanging
up" tractor and mower.
24. Avoid sudden starts and stops while traveling up or downhill.
25. Always cut down slopes; never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping and or loss of control.
3.02 - Set Up
Notice to dealer: Pre-delivery setup and service including lubrication is the
responsibility of the authorized dealer. It is up to him to assure that the machine is in
perfect condition and ready to be used. It is his responsibility to ensure that the
customer is aware of all safety aspects and operational procedures for the mower. He
must also fill out the Pre-Delivery Checklist
2 prior to delivering the mower.
CAUTION: Stand clear of bands when cutting as they could be under sufficient
tension to cause them to fly loose. Take care in removing bands and wire, they
often have extremely sharp edges and cut very easily.
As mentioned above, all our grooming mowers may be either tractor front or rear
mounted. To change our mowers from front mount to rear, or vice versa, it can easily be
done at our authorized dealerships. This is accomplished by simply turning the three
point hitch and the gearbox 180 degrees
(see fig. 5 & 6) .
