Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. 15.
Never carry passengers. 16.
Back up slowly. Always look down and behind before and 17.
while backing to avoid a back-over accident.
Slow down before turning. Operate the machine smoothly. 18.
Avoid erratic operation and excessive speed.
Disengage blade(s), set parking brake, stop engine and wait
19.
until the blade(s) come to a complete stop before removing
grass catcher, emptying grass, unclogging chute, removing
any grass or debris, or making any adjustments.
Never leave a running machine unattended. Always turn
20.
off blade(s), place drive speed control pedals in neutral,
set parking brake, stop engine and remove key before
dismounting.
Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into
21.
a trailer or truck. This machine should not be driven up or
down ramp(s), because the machine could tip over, causing
serious personal injury. The machine must be pushed
manually on ramp(s) to load or unload properly.
Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do
22.
not touch.
Check overhead clearances carefully before driving under
23.
low hanging tree branches, wires, door openings etc.,
where the operator may be struck or pulled from the
machine, which could result in serious injury.
Disengage all attachment clutches, move the speed control
24.
pedals to the neutral position and set the parking brake to
the ‘ On’ position before attempting to start the engine.
Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall, dry grass 25.
(e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves. Dry grass or leaves may
contact the engine exhaust and/or build up on the mower
deck presenting a potential fire hazard.
Never attempt to operate the traction unit without the
26.
mowing deck attached.
Keep the machine and especially the engine/pump and
27.
hydraulic components clean and free of grease, grass and
leaves to reduce the potential for over heating and fire.
Use
28. only accessories and attachments approved for this
machine by the machine manufacturer. Read, understand
and follow all instructions provided with the approved
accessory or attachment.
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are 29.
involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability
to operate the riding mower safely enough to protect
themselves and others from serious injury.
If situations occ
30. ur which are not covered in this manual, use
care and good judgment. Contact your customer service
representative for assistance.
Do not o
31. perate or start machines if there are fuel or oil
leaks or spillage. Clean it up.
Do not stop or park machine over dry leaves, grass, debris,
32.
etc. that could be combustible.
Do not operate machines that have been damaged or have
33.
not been properly maintained. If the machine has been
damaged, then have it repaired.
When looking for oil leaks, never run your hand over 34.
hydraulic hoses, lines or fittings. Never tighten or adjust
hydraulic hoses, lines or fittings while the system is under
pressure. If high-pressure oil penetrates the skin, the oil
must be removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar
with this form of injury or gangrene may result. Do not
check for hydraulic leaks with any part of the body.
When operating this machine in the forward direction, do
35.
not allow the speed control pedals to return to the neutral
position on their own. Always operate them smoothly and
avoid any sudden movements of the pedals when starting
or stopping.
Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over
accidents which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes
require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you
feel uneasy on it, do not mow it or operate the machine on it.
For your safety, use the slope gauge included as part of this
manual to measure slopes before operating this machine on
a sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 20 degrees as
shown on the slope gauge, do not operate this machine on that
area or serious injury could result.
Do:
Mow across slopes, not up and down. Exercise extreme 1.
caution when changing direction on slopes.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
2.
objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall
grass can hide obstacles.
Use slow speed. Choose a low enough speed so that you
3.
will not have to stop while on the slope. Avoid starting
or stopping on a slope. If the tires are unable to maintain
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly and
carefully straight down the slope.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel 4.
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
5.
These can change the stability of the machine.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do
6.
not make sudden changes in speed or direction. Rapid
acceleration or deceleration could cause the front of the
machine to lift and rapidly flip over backwards, which
could cause serious injury.
Do Not:
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then turn slowly 1.
uphill and use extra care while turning.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, embankments or
2.
bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, rivers, etc. The mower
could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a
cliff, ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
3.
the ground.
Do not use a grass catcher on slopes steeper than 15 4.
degrees.
