could result in serious injury or death to
the operator or bystanders.
The responsibility of the owner is to
follow the instructions below.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
For Ride--On (Riding)
Rotary Mower Machines
Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar
with the c ontrols and the proper use of the
equipment.
2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar
with these instructions to use the mower.
Local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
3. Never mow while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards occur-
ring to other people or their property.
5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek and obtain pro-
fessional and practical i nstruction. Such
instruction should emphasize:
a. the need for care and concentration
when working with ride--on machines;
b. control of a ride--on machine sliding
on a s lope will not be regained by the
application of the brake. The main
reasons for loss of control are:
O insufficient wheel grip;
O being driven too fast;
O inadequate braking
O the type of machine is unsuitable
for its task;
O lack of awareness of the effect of
ground conditions, especially
slopes;
O incorrect hitching and load dis-
tribution.
Preparation
1. While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing
open sandals.
2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all ob-
jects which may be thrown by the machine.
3. WARNING -- Petrol is highly flammable.
a. Store fuel in containers s pecifically de-
signed for this purpose.
b. Refuel outdoors only and do not
smoke while refuelling.
c. Add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank
or add petrol while the engine is run-
ning or when the engine is hot.
d. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to
start the engine but move the machine
away from the area of s pillage and
avoid c reating any source of ignition
until petrol vapours have dissipated.
e. Replace all fuel tanks and container
caps securely.
4. Replace faulty silencers.
5. Before using, always visually inspect to see
that the blades, blade bolts and cutter as-
sembly are not worn or damaged. Replace
worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
6. On multi--blade machines, take care as ro-
tating one blade can cause other blades to
rotate.
Operation
1. Do not operate the engine in a confined
space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can collect.
2. Mow only i n daylight or in good artificial
light.
3. Before attempting to start the engine, dis-
engage all blade attachment clutches and
shift i nto neutral.
4. Do not use on slopes of more than 10 de-
grees.
5. Remember there is no s uch thing as a
“safe” slope. Travel on grass slopes re-
quires particular c are. To guard against
overturning:
a. do not stop or start suddenly when
going up or downhill;
b. engage clutch slowly, always keep
machine in gear, especially when tra-
velling downhill;
c. machine speeds should be kept low
on slopes and during tight turns;
d. stay alert for humps and hollows and
other hidden hazards;
e. never mow across the face of the
slope, unless the mower is designed
for this purpose.
6. Use c are when pulling loads or using heavy
equipment.
a. Use only approved drawbar hitch
points.
b. Limit l oads to those you can safely
control.
c. Do not turn sharply. Use c are when
reversing.

discharge of material toward bystanders
nor allow anyone near the machine while in
operation.
10. Never operate the mower with defective
guards or shields, or without safety protec-
tive devices in place.
11. Do not change the engine governor set-
tings or overspeed the engine. Operating
an engine at excessive speed may in-
crease the hazard of personal injury.
12. Before leaving the operator’s position
a. disengage the power take--off and
lower the attachments;
b. change into neutral and set the park-
ing brake;
c. stop the engine and remove the key.
13. Disengage drive to attachments, stop the
engine, and disconnect the spark plug
wire(s) or remove the ignition key

Check The Tires
Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too
much air pressure will cause the unit to ride
rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the
mower housing from cutting level. The correct
air pressure is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI),
Rear Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). The tires were
over inflated for shipment.
Check The Level Of The Mower
Housing
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After
you mow a short distance, look at the area that
was cut. If the mower housing does not cut level,
see the instructions on “How To Level The
Mower Housing” in the Maintenance section of
this instruction book.
How To Prepare The Engine
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the fac-
tory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil.
Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for
the type of petrol and oil to use. Before you use
the unit, read the information on safety, oper-
ation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manu-
facturers instructions for the type o
f
petrol and oil to use. Always use a
safety petrol container. Do not smoke when

Mowing And Bagging Tips
1. For a lawn to look better, check the cutting
level of the mower housing. See “How To
Level The Mower Housing” in the Mainten-
ance section.
2. For the mower housing to cut level, make
sure the tires have the correct amount of air
pressure.
3. Every time y ou use the unit, check the blade.
If the blade is bent or damaged, immediately
replace the blade. Also, make sure the nut
for the blade is tight.
4. Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades
will cause the ends of the grass to turn
brown.
5. If the grass is very high, cut two times to de-
crease the load on the engine. First cut with
the mower housing in the highest position
and then lower the mower housing for the
second cut.
6. Operate the engine with the throttle in FAST
position and the shift lever in first or second
gear.
