Slope Safety
•
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and rollover accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. You are responsible for safe slope
operation. Operating the machine on any slope
requires extra caution.
•
Evaluate the site conditions to determine if the
slope is safe for machine operation, including
surveying the site. Always use common sense
and good judgment when performing this survey.
•
Review the slope instructions listed below for
operating the machine on slopes and to determine
whether you can operate the machine in the
conditions on that day and at that site. Changes
in the terrain can result in a change in slope
operation for the machine.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on
slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or
direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
•
Do not operate a machine under any conditions
where traction, steering, or stability is in question.
•
Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches,
holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards.
Tall grass can hide obstructions. Uneven terrain
could overturn the machine.
•
Be aware that operating the machine on wet
grass, across slopes, or downhill may cause the
machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the
drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of
braking and steering.
•
Use extreme caution when operating the machine
near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water
hazards, or other hazards. The machine could
suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge
or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area
between the machine and any hazard.
•
Identify hazards at the base of the slope.
If there are hazards, mow the slope with a
pedestrian-controlled machine.
•
If possible, keep the cutting unit(s) lowered to the
ground while operating on slopes. Raising the
cutting unit(s) while operating on slopes can cause
the machine to become unstable.
•
Use extreme caution with grass-collection systems
or other attachments. These can change the
stability of the machine and cause a loss of control.
Starting the Engine
Important:
The fuel system automatically bleeds
itself before starting the engine if you are starting
the engine for the first time, the engine has shut
off due to lack of fuel, or you have performed
maintenance on the fuel system.
1. Sit on the seat, keep your foot off the traction
pedal so that it is in N
EUTRAL
, engage the parking
brake, set the engine-speed switch to the M
ID
position, and ensure that the Enable/Disable
switch is in the D
ISABLE
position.
2. Turn the key in the switch to the R
UN
position.
3. When the glow indicator dims, turn the key in the
switch to the S
TART
position. Release the key
immediately when the engine starts and allow it
to return to the R
UN
position.
4. Run the engine at low idle speed until it warms
up.
Shutting Off the Engine
1. Move all controls to N
EUTRAL
, engage the
parking brake, move the engine-speed switch to
the L
OW
I
DLE
position and allow the engine to
reach low idle speed.
Important:
Allow the engine to idle for 5
minutes before shutting it off after a full
load operation. Failure to do so may lead to
trouble on a turbo-charged engine.
2. Turn the key in the switch to the O
FF
position
and remove the key.
Cutting Grass with the
Machine
Note:
Cutting grass at a rate that loads the engine
promotes DPF regeneration.
1. Move the machine to the job site.
2. Whenever possible, set the engine-speed switch
to high idle.
3. Engage the PTO switch.
4. Gradually move the traction pedal forward and
slowly drive the machine over the mowing area.
5. Once the front of the cutting units are over the
mowing area, lower the cutting units.
6. Cut grass so that the blades can cut and
discharge clippings at a high rate while
producing a good quality of cut.
Note:
If the cutting rate is too high, the quality
of cut may deteriorate. Reduce the ground
speed of the machine or reduce the width of cut
to regain high idle engine speed.
