22. Tie the mower down securely using straps, chains,
cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps must be
directed down and outward from machine.
23. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
24. NEVER leave the machine running unattended.
2.6 ROLL-OVER PROTECTION SYSTEM
WARNING
Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position
and the seat belt securely fastened during
operation. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or loss of life.
This mower has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution
must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the
grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces
traction and steering control.
Any or all parts of the Roll-Over Protection System MUST
NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could
result in injury or death.
13. Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
14. NEVER raise the deck with the blades engaged.
15. Take all possible precautions when leaving the
machine unattended, such as disengaging the
mower, lowering the attachments, setting the parking
brake, stopping the engine, and removing the key.
16. Disengage power to the attachments when
transporting or when not in use.
17. The machine and attachments should be stopped
and inspected for damage after striking a foreign
object, and damage should be repaired before
restarting and operating the machine.
CAUTION
Do not touch the engine or the muffler while the
engine is running or immediately after stopping.
These areas may be hot enough to cause a
burn.
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine inside a building or
a confined area without proper ventilation.
Exhaust fumes are hazardous and contain
carbon monoxide which can cause brain injury
and death.
18. Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and
moving parts. Contact can injure.
19. Transport the mower using a heavy duty trailer
or truck. Insure the trailer or truck has all of the
necessary lighting and markings as required by
laws, codes, and ordinances. Secure a trailer with a
safety chain.
20. Be cautious when loading and unloading onto trailers
or trucks. Use only a full width ramp. Ramp angle
should be no more than 15 degrees. See Figure 2-4,
Page 7 to determine approximate slope of the ramp.
Back up the ramp and drive down forward.
21. When transporting the mower, make sure the park
brake is engaged, the steering control levers are in
the neutral position, the engine is off with the key
removed, and the wheels have been blocked.
