Safety
Before Operating
•
Read and understand the contents of this manual before
starting and operating the machine. Become familiar
with all controls and know how to stop quickly.
•
Never allow children to operate the machine. Do not
allow adults to operate the machine without proper
instruction. Only trained operators, skilled in slope
operation and who have read this manual should operate
this machine.
•
Never operate machine when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
•
Remove all debris or other objects that might be picked
up and thrown by cutter blades. Keep all bystanders
away from the operating area.
•
Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield,
safety device, or decal is defective or damaged, repair
or replace it before operation is commenced. Also,
tighten any loose nuts, bolts, and screws to insure
machine is in safe operating condition.
•
Do not wear loose–fitting clothing because it could get
caught in moving parts. Always wear long pants and
substantial shoes. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes,
and a helmet is advisable and required by some local
ordinances and insurance regulations.
•
Be sure interlock switches are adjusted correctly so
engine cannot be started unless traction pedal is
released–neutral position–and PTO switch is in
DISENGAGED position.
•
Fill fuel tank before starting the engine. Avoid spilling
any fuel. Since fuel is flammable, handle it carefully.
– Use an approved fuel container.
– Do not fill fuel tank when engine is hot or running.
– Do not smoke while handling fuel.
– Fill fuel tank outdoors and only to the bottom of the
filler neck.
– Wipe up any spilled fuel.
While Operating
•
Sit on the seat when starting the engine and operating
the machine.
•
Before starting the engine:
– Engage parking brake.
– Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and PTO is in
DISENGAGE position.
– After engine is started, release parking brake and
keep foot off traction pedal. Machine must not
move. If movement is evident, the neutral return
mechanism is adjusted incorrectly. Shut engine off
and adjust until machine does not move when
traction pedal is released.
•
Do not run the engine in a confined area without
adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and
could possibly be deadly.
•
Maximum seating capacity is one person. Therefore,
never carry passengers.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances before driving
under any objects.
•
The grass deflector or complete blower assembly must
always be installed on cutting unit.
•
To maintain machine control, 75 lb. of weight must be
mounted on left front wheel of traction unit before
using the 15 cu. ft. Hopper kit. Refer to traction Unit
Operator’s Manual for additional weight requirements.
•
Operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive on
hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills may
cause loss of control and vehicle to tip or roll possibly
resulting in personal injury or death.
•
Traverse slopes carefully. Do not start or stop suddenly
when traversing slopes or when traveling uphill or
downhill.
•
If engine stalls or machine loses headway and cannot
make it to the top of a slope, do not turn machine
around. Always back slowly straight down the slope.
•
Using the machine demands the operator’s complete
attention. To prevent loss of control:
– Operate only in daylight or when there is good
artificial light.
– Drive slowly.
