TO DISMOUNT:
1.Shut off the rough cutter’s engine
2.Select a level surface, set the parking brake, stop
the engine and remove the ignition key to prevent

WARNING
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights,
SMV sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate
devices to warn operators in other vehicles of your
presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
local laws.
LONG TERM STORAGE
1.Clean off any dirt and grease that may have
accumulated on the cutter and moving parts.
Scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of deck
and then wash surface thoroughly with a garden
hose. A coating of oil may also be applied to the
lower deck area to minimize oxidation.
2.Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace
if necessary. See “Cutter Blade Maintenance”
section.
3.Inspect cutter for loose, damaged, or worn parts
and adjust or replace as needed.
4.Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to
prevent rust.
5.Replace all damaged or missing decals.
6.Suivre les instructions dans le manuel du propriétaire
du moteur.
7.Store cutter on a level surface in a clean, dry place.
Inside storage will reduce maintenance and make
for a longer cutter life.
TRANSPORTATION
TO TRANSPORT:
Always
disengage ELECTRIC CLUTCH and
shut
down engine, before raising cutter to transport
position.
Raise cutter to transport position.
When transporting the equipment without towing it
behind a vehicle, disconnect the wire from the spark
plug(s) and keep away from spark plug(s) to prevent
accidental starting.
IMPORTANT:
Reduce vehicle ground speed when turning and
leave enough clearance so cutter does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees, or fences.
When traveling on roadways, transport in such a
way that faster moving vehicles may pass you
safely.
Reduce speed when traveling over rough or hilly
terrain.
Always look down and behind, before and while
driving backwards.
Verify that the rear hitch bar of the equipment
does not come into contact with the wheels of
the vehicle.
DANGER
TO PREVENT INJURIES:
Do not operate and/or travel across
steep inclines
where a vehicle can rollover resulting in serious injury
or death.
Consult your vehicle’s manual for acceptable inclines
the vehicle is capable of traveling across.
Never operate on slopes of more than
15 degrees.
