OPERATIONS
DAILY INSPECTION __________________________________________________
1. Perform a visual inspection of the entire unit, look for signs of wear, loose hardware, and missing or damaged com -
ponents. Check for fuel or oil leaks to ensure connections are tight and hoses and tubes are in good condition.
2. Make sure all mowers are adjusted to the same cutting height.
3. Check tires for proper inflation.

the traction pedal is in Neutral. The system also disables the mow, traction, and steering functions without the oper -
ator in the seat.

system inspected and repaired if any of the tests fail as listed below:
•
l
the system does not start in test 1;
• l the system does start in test 4;
•
l
the traction function is not disabled in test 3;
• l the mow, traction, and steering functions are not disabled during test 2 and 5.
3. Refer to the chart below for each test and follow the check (

test.
