SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. NEVER leave unit running while unattended.
2.
NEVER park on a green for any reason.
3.
NEVER go down steep hills sideways. ALWAYS approach hills straight on.
4.
NEVER change your mind mid-way down a steep incline. Once you've started down a steep incline, change
direction only with the greatest of care and gentlest touch.
5.
Allow engine to cool for several minutes before filling with fuel, since fuel tank is over the engine.
NOTE: HONDA ENGINES - ALWAYS TURN OFF THE FUEL SHUTOFF, WHEN THE
ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING, i.e. WHEN IN TRANSPORT, STORAGE, ETC.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check that the unit has been serviced and all fluids are checked and topped off.
2.
Check all hydraulic hose fittings.
3.
Push fuel shut off switch to on position.
4.
5. Push choke to full on position
6.
Push throttle to just above idle.
7.
Turn on/off switch to on position.
8.
You should start engine from seat position. Just reach down to engine controls. Keep feet off pedals.
Hydrostatic drive should come to neutral when engine starts.
9. Hydrostatic transmission should come to neutral when engine is started. REMEMBER: RIGHT PEDAL TO
GO RIGHT, LEFT PEDAL TO GO LEFT.
10.
Slide choke to full off position.
11.
Once unit is running at just above idle, push pedal down slowly. Unit will begin to move. Drive it out of trailer
on to grass area.
12.
Since the unit is hydrostatic, engine should run at full R.P.M. and speed should be controlled by pressure on the
pedal.
HINTS:
1. KEEP BOTH FEET ON PEDALS AT ALL TIMES. By keeping your heels planted and moving your toes to
change direction, you have smooth control - left to right.
2.
If you roll the same direction as green was mowed, it's easy to follow the lines. This helps a new operator do a
fine job sooner.
