CHECK DAILY
Operator Presence Interlock System - Start Operation
For the engine to crank, the Forward-Reverse lever must be in neutral and the PTO off. Sit in the seat and
check, if the engine will crank with the Forward-Reverse lever out of neutral, or the PTO on.
Operator Presence Interlock System - Run Operation
The operator must be in the seat for the engine to run with the PTO on.
To check:
1. Start the engine and run at 1/2 throttle with the operator on the machine but raised off the seat.
2. Turn the PTO on. This check should kill the engine after 1/2 second.
Repair machine before using if the Operator Presence Interlock System does not operate correctly in start or
run. Contact your authorized Schiller Grounds Care, Inc. dealer.

Hydraulic System
Check fluid level at transaxle dipstick, when fluid is cold. Check for leaks and repair before operating.
Tire pressure
Tire pressures are important! Check tire pressures according to the Service Chart on page 17.
Battery
Battery acid is caustic and fumes are explosive and
can cause serious injury or death.
Use insulated tools, wear protective glasses or
goggles and protective clothing when working with
batteries. Read and obey the battery manufacturer’s
instructions.
Be certain the ignition switch is “OFF” and the key
has been removed before servicing the battery.
1. Verify battery polarity before connecting or
disconnecting the battery cables.
2. When installing the battery, always assemble
the RED, positive ( + ) battery cable first and the
ground, BLACK, negative ( - ) cable last.
3. When removing the battery, always remove the
ground, negative ( - ) cable first and the red,
positive ( + ) cable last.
4. Check the electrolyte level every 100 hours of
operation.
5. Clean the cable ends and battery posts with steel
wool. Use a solution of baking soda and water
to clean the battery. Do not allow the solution to
enter into the battery cells.
6. Tighten cables securely to battery terminals and
apply a light coat of silicone dielectric grease to
terminals and cable ends to prevent corrosion.
Keep terminal covers in place.
