8.2. Turn the PTO switch to the OFF position ( ).
8.3. Make sure that the PTO shaft and mower blades
stop completely.
8.4. The drive shaft should be mounted or dismounted at
the front mower side. Never leave the shaft connect-
ed only at the mower side. If the PTO shaft be driv-
en unexpectedly, the shaft will be swung around and
damage the front mower or cause serious accidents.
9. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
9.1. Never start the engine in a closed place. Exhaust
fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide, so suffi-
cient ventilation should be provided when starting
the engine indoors.
9.2. Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when
servicing the front mower.
9.3. When servicing the front mower or mounting or dis-
mounting the mower deck, place the front mower on
level, hard ground.
9.4. Service the front mower in a place sufficiently illumi-
nated, or darkness may cause unexpected accidents.
9.5. Do not adjust or repair the front mower while the
engine is running.
9.6. When servicing the front mower or mounting or dis-
mounting the mower deck, stop the engine and
Remove the key (if applicable) to prevent someone
from accidentally starting the engine and apply the
parking brakes
9.7. The engine, muffler, radiator, etc. are very hot just
after operation, so wait until those heated parts cool
down sufficiently to avoid burns.
9.8. Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is
hot or running. Wait until the engine cools down and
then relieve the radiator pressure by releasing the
radiator cap. Carelessly pouring cooling water into
the heated radiator can cause serious damage to
the radiator and the engine. Careless removal of the
radiator cap can cause serious injury because of
superheated water vapor.
9.9. Before servicing the front mower, be sure to turn the
PTO switch to the OFF position (
) and make sure
that the mower blades have stopped completely.
Rotating blades may cause serious accidents.
9.10. While adjusting the front mower, keep your fingers
away from all pinch points.
