OPERATING THE MACHINE

OPERATING A NEW MACHINE

How  a  new  machine  is  operated  and  maintained  will
determine the operating life of the machine.
A new machine just off the factory production line has
been  tested,  but  the  various  parts  are  not 

“broken-in”

and are not accustomed to each other, so care should
be taken to operate the machine for the first 50 hours at
a slower speed and avoid excessive work or operation
until the various parts become 

“broken-in”

. The manner

in  which  the  machine  is  handled  during  the 

“breaking-

in”

  period  greatly  affects  the  life  of  your  machine.

Therefore, to obtain the maximum performance and the
longest  operating  life  of  the  machine,  it  is  very
important  to  properly  break-in  your  machine.  In
handling  a  new  machine,  the  following  precautions
should be observed.

1. Changing lubricating oil for new

machine

The lubricating oil is especially important in the case of
a  new  machine.  The  various  parts  are  not 

“broken-in”

and are not accustomed to each other. Small metal grit
may  develop  during  the  operation  of  the  machine  and
this may wear out or damage the parts. Therefore, care
should  be  taken  to  change  the  lubricating  oil  a  little
earlier than it would ordinarily be required.
For further details of change interval hours.
(See SERVICE INTERVALS on page 63.)

2. Engine break-in

After the first 50 hours of operation, change the engine
oil and filter.
(See EVERY 200 HOURS on page 76.)

3. Machine break-in

After  the  first  400  hours  of  operation,  change  the
transmission fluid.
(See EVERY 400 HOURS on page 77.)
After the first 50 hours of operation, change the oil filter.
(See  EVERY  200  HOURS  on  page  76  and  EVERY
400 HOURS on page 77.)

 DANGER

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Do not operate the mower without the discharge

deflector in the “DOWN” position.

 WARNING

To avoid serious injury or death:

• The  machine  relies  upon  the  engine  driven

transmission  for  speed,  direction,  and  steering
control.  If  the  engine  is  not  running,  the
machine cannot be driven or controlled.
If  the  engine  stops  when  operating  on  a  slope,
apply the parking brake immediately to prevent
a machine runaway.

• Do  not  allow  anyone  other  than  the  driver  to

ride on the machine.

• Do not drive the machine close to the edges of

ditches or banks which may collapse under the
weight  of  the  machine,  especially  when  the
ground is loose or wet.

• When  making  a  turn,  be  sure  to  reduce  the

travel  speed  and  operate  the  motion  control
levers carefully.

• To  avoid  tip-over  accidents,  operate  across

slopes,  not  up  and  down.  Avoid  sudden  starts
and stops on slopes. Slow down and use extra
caution when changing direction on a slope.
Park the machine on a firm and level surface.

• Watch  where  you  are  going  at  all  times.  Watch

for and avoid obstacles. Be alert at curbs, near
trees,  and  other  obstructions  and  hidden
hazards.

• Do  not  mow  near  drop-offs,  ditches  or

embankments.  The  mower  could  turn  over  if  a
wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an
edge caves in.

• Do  not  drive  the  machine  on  streets  or

highways.  Watch  for  traffic  when  you  cross
roads or operate near roads.

• Look to the rear before and when backing. Make

sure the area immediately behind you is clear of
obstructions  or  holes,  and  small  children.  Use
extra  caution  when  machine  is  equipped  with
grass catcher.

• Keep  bystanders,  especially  children,  and

animals away from the mowing area.

• Clear  the  work  area  of  objects  which  might  be

picked up and thrown by the blades.

• Do  not  direct  the  opening  of  the  discharge

deflector  at  bystanders  or  animals.  Discharged
objects  may  cause  injury.  Plan  your  mowing
carefully before starting operation.

• Keep  bystanders  especially  children  and

animals away from the mowing area.
