Seat belts are attached to the movable portion of the seat 

4. 

when suspension seats are utilized, and therefore the seat-

mounting base must be secured to its pivot means and the 

pivot means latched to the frame of the machine. Seat belts 

are attached to the seat or the frame of the machine when 

non-suspension (standard) seats are provided, however, if 

a suspension kit is added to a seat, the seat belt must be 

attached to the movable portion of the seat or suspension 

mechanism, the seat-mounting base must be secured to its 

pivot means, and the pivot means be latched to the frame 

of the machine.

DANGER! 

If ROPS and OPDs are folded down or 

missing, seat belts shall not be fastened. Worn or 

damaged seat belt assemblies must be replaced 

prior to operator use.

Brush Guards and canopies can afford additional 

5. 

protection for the operator. The Brush Guard can deflect 

tree limbs, clothes lines, and other obstacles that otherwise 

could come in contact with the ROPS and OPDs. Contact 

of ROPS and OPDs by items such as tree limbs, clothes 

lines, guy wires, and buildings, could create hazardous 

conditions whereby the machine could experience a tip-

over or roll-over. The canopy can provide protection for 

the operator from some environmental exposure (sunlight, 

rain, etc.). Work lights may be available.

The ROPS and seat belt are integral parts of this machine 

6. 

and should not be tampered with, modified in any manner, 

or removed.

The ROPS extends above and behind the operator position, 

7. 

and therefore the operator must be aware of potential 

contact of the ROPS with items such as trees, buildings, 

doorways, clothes lines, utility wires, etc., that could cause 

the machine to upset or rollover. Use caution in (or avoid) 

areas where the ROPS could come in contact with any 

structures, trees, etc.

The ROPS and seat belt add additional mass that elevates 

8. 

the machine’s Center of Gravity (C.G.) which negatively 

affects the machine’s stability and traction. Use extra 

caution when operating on slopes.

Inspect the ROPS and seat belt assemblies on a regular 

9. 

basis for damage and improper operation. Replace all 

components that are damaged or are not functioning 

properly with authorized replacement parts.
Fail

10. 

ure to use the seat belt properly could result in serious 

injury or death if an accidental overturn occurs. In order 

for the ROPS to be effective, the seat belt must be securely 

fastened around the operator at all times when the 

operator is on the machine. Contact with the ROPS during 

an overturn could cause serious injury or death.

The ROPS will not prevent the machine from upsets or roll 

11. 

overs.

Only approved attachments should be used on this 

12. 

machine.

Hydraulic Devices and Systems

Hy

draulic fluid escaping under pressure may have sufficient force 

to penetrate skin and to cause serious injury. If foreign fluid is 

injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few 

hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury, or gangrene 

may result.

WARNING! 

Keep body and hands away from 

pinholes or nozzles that could eject hydraulic fluid 

under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not 

hands, to search for leaks!

Safely reliev

e all pressure in the system before performing any 

work on the system, and make sure that:

The ignition switch is OFF

• 

The key is removed

• 

The engine spark plug wire(s) removed

• 

All connections to the negative terminal of the battery are 

• 

removed
The park brake is set

• 

All by-pass valves, if so equipped, are open

• 

Hydrau

• 

lic controls are actuated to release pressure on 

pumps, cylinders, etc. If “float” positions are available, they 

should be used

.

After the above operations are completed, it should be safe to 

begin disconnecting the lines or components. It is still a good 

idea to cover the connection with a cloth shield and then gently 

loosen connections.

WARNING! 

Make sure all hydraulic fluid 

connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and 

lines are in good condition before applying pressure 

to the system.

Related to Fuel

DANGER! 

Never have the mower near an open 

flame or spark, or allow smoking when refueling the 

system.    Always handle LPG cylinders with care.   

LPG is a safe but highly flammable fuel.

3. 

immediately get away from the cylinder and contact your 

local fire department.
Do not smoke or permit others to smoke while handling 

4. 

LPG.

Always close the valves on the cylinders when not in use.

5. 

Use only cylinders that meet code #49 of the federal
