TEXTRON TURF CARE AND SPECIALTY PRODUCTS

OPERATING SAFELY

In general

• Use extra care when loading or unloading the

machine into a trailer or truck.

• Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roadways.

• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area where dan-

gerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

• Do not place your foot on the ground while operating

the machine.

• Before operating, lower the discharge chute, insert the

mulcher or install the entire grass catcher in place.

• Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

Never direct the discharge toward a bystander. Stop

operation if someone approaches.

• Keep washout ports and other mower housing service

openings closed when mowing.

• Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equip-

ment.

- Use only approved drawbar hitch points.

- Limit loads to those you can safely control.

- Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.

• Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when sug-

gested in the operator’s manual.

• Never leave a machine unattended. Always turn off

blades, set parking brake, stop engine and remove

keys before dismounting.

Starting

• Start only according to instructions in this manual or

on the machine.

• Before attempting to start the engine, make sure:

- the parking brake is on,

- the PTO is disengaged;

- the drive is in NEUTRAL.

• When starting the engine, make sure hands and feet

are clear of the blades.

• Do not start the machine while standing in front of the

discharge chute or with the chute directed at some-

one.

• Do not engage PTO at full throttle. Throttle to idle or

lowest possible engine speed.

• Do not change engine governor settings or overspeed

the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed

can increase the hazard of personal injury.

Interrupting operation

• Before leaving the operator’s position:

- Park on level ground.

- Disengage the PTO.

- Set the parking brake.

- Shut off the engine and remove the key.

• Disengage the PTO and wait until the blades quit

rotating:

- before raising cutterdeck;

- when not mowing;

- for transport;

- when crossing surfaces other than grass.

• Stop the engine, disengage the PTO and wait until the

blades quit rotating:

- before refueling;

- before removing grass catcher;

- before making height adjustment unless the

adjustment can be made from the operator’s posi-

tion.

• Stop the engine, disengage the PTO and disconnect

the spark plug wire(s) or remove the key:

- before clearing blockages or unclogging chute;

- before checking, cleaning or working on the

machine;

- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the machine

for damage and make repairs before restarting.

- if the machine begins to vibrate abnormally.

Inspect and make repairs as needed before

restarting;

- except as specifically noted, such as for carburetor

adjustment, where the engine must be running.

Keep hands and feet clear of moving parts in these

circumstances.

• Allow the blades to come to a complete stop when

stopping operation to clear blockages, unclog, inspect

the machine, do maintenance or repair.

• Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut-down

and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve,

turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.

SAFETY

GB-6

TEXTRON TURF CARE AND SPECIALTY PRODUCTS

MANEUVERING SAFELY

In general

• Slow down before turning.

• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look behind and down for small children and

pets before and during backing.

• Beware when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, tall grass or other objects that may obscure

vision.

• If tires lose traction, disengage the blades. If on a

slope, head down.

Mowing slopes

Slopes are a major factor in loss-

of-control and tipover accidents

that sometimes lead to severe

injury or death. All slopes require

extra caution.

• Do not mow on slopes if

uneasy or uncertain. Ultimate

responsibility for safe opera-

tion on slopes rests with the

operator.

• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

• With ride-on machines, always mow up and down

slopes, not across.

• With walk-behind machines, always mow across

slopes, not up and down.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose trac-

tion, disengage the blade and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then turn

slowly and downhill when possible.

• Stay away from slopes if the ground is loose or if

caught in the rain during mowing.

• Use lower speeds on a slope to avoid stopping or

shifting.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or other attach-

ments. These can change the stability of the machine.

• Avoid driving over ruts, holes, rocks and roots when-

ever possible. Be alert to dips and rises. Uneven ter-

rain can overturn a mower or cause it to slide.

• Do not mow dropoffs, ditches or embankments. The

machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel runs over

the edge or an edge caves in.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights to improve stability.

damaged or deteriorated, they may expose moving

parts or allow objects to be thrown.

• Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty. For best

results, always replace with parts recommended by

the manufacturer.

• Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire(s)

before making any repairs. Disconnect the negative

terminal first and the positive last.

• Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or

restraining forces which may cause parts to move

suddenly.

• Provide adequate support for lifted machine or parts if

working beneath.

• Clean up oil or fuel spillage thoroughly.

• Replace faulty mufflers.

• To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, muffler, bat-

tery compartment and fuel storage area free of grass,

leaves, debris buildup or grease.

Blades

• Mower blades are sharp and

can cut. Use extra caution

when handling. Remove

obstructions with care. Wrap

the blade(s) or wear gloves.

• Be aware that rotating one

blade on multiblade mowers

can cause other blades to

rotate.

• Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld them.

• Keep other persons away from blades.

Fuel

• Gasoline and diesel fuels are

flammable; gasoline vapors

are explosive. Use extra care

when handling.

6.0 DAILY INSPECTION _________________________________________________________

The Daily Inspection should be

performed only when the engine is

off and all fluids are cold. Lower implements to

the ground, engage parking brake, stop the

engine and remove ignition key.

1. Perform a visual inspection of the entire unit. Look for

signs of wear, loose hardware, and missing or dam-

aged components. Check for fuel or oil leaks.

2. Check the fuel supply, radiator coolant level, crank-

case oil and hydraulic oil. All fluids must be at the

full level mark.

3. Hydraulic oil level should never be out of view on the

lower sight gauge (located on the left-hand side of

oil tank).

4. Test the “System Sentry” to insure all display lights

function.

5. Turn the ignition switch ON then depress test button

(V, Figure 5C). If any light remains on after starting

the engine or turns on during operation, stop the

engine immediately, check for the probable cause.

6. Make sure all mowers are adjusted to the same

cutting height. See Section 8.0.

7. Make sure the hood screen, radiator and oil cooler

fins are clean that the machine was lubricated and

the tires are properly inflated.

8. Test the operator back-up system. See Section 6.1.

6.1 OPERATOR BACKUP SYSTEM ________________________________________________

1. The operator backup system prevents the engine

from starting unless the parking brake is engaged

and the implement switch is off. The system also

stops the engine if the operator leaves the seat with

the implement switch engaged or the parking brake is

disengaged.

Leaving a tractor while it is

running and unattended can

be fatal or cause serious injury.

Never operate equipment with the operator back-

up system disconnected or malfunctioning. Do

not disconnect or bypass any switch.

2. Perform each of the following tests to insure the

operator backup system is functioning properly. Stop

the test and have the system inspected and repaired

if:

● the engine

does not

start in Test 1, or;

● the engine

starts

during Test 2 or 3.

● the engine

continues

to run during Tests 4 or 5.

Test 1

represents normal starting procedure. The

operator is seated, parking brake is engaged and the

implement switch is disengaged.

The engine must be OFF before performing Tests 2

and 3. The engine must not start with either control

in the position shown.

First start the engine in the normal manner then

engage the implement switch for Test 4 or disengage

the parking brake for Test 5 and lift your weight off

the seat for each test.

★

-

Lift your weight off the seat. The cutting units must stop rotating

within seven (7) seconds.

.

6.2 OPERATING PROCEDURE ____________________________________________________

To help prevent injury, always

wear safety glasses, leather

work shoes or boots, a hard hat, and ear

protection.

1. Under no circumstances should the engine be

started with the operator standing next to the tractor.

2. Do not operate tractor or implements with loose,

damaged or missing components. Whenever

possible mow when the grass is dry.

An overturning tractor can be

fatal or cause serious injury.

OPERATION

GB-16

TEXTRON TURF CARE AND SPECIALTY PRODUCTS

Seat belts must be worn whenever a ROPS is

installed on the tractor. Always keep seat belt

snugly adjusted. If the tractor is overturning, hold

onto the steering wheel. Do not attempt to jump

out or leave the seat.

3. First mow in a test area to become thoroughly

familiar with the operation of the tractor and control

levers.

4. Study the area to determine the best and safest

operating procedure. Consider the height of the

grass, type of terrain, and condition of the surface.

Each condition will require certain adjustments or

precautions.

5. Never direct discharge of material toward

bystanders, nor allow anyone near the machine

while in operation.

Thrown debris can cause

serious injury.

Pick up all debris you can find before mowing.

Enter a new area cautiously. Always operate at

speeds that allow you to have complete control of

the tractor.

6. Use discretion when mowing near gravel areas

(roadway, parking areas, cart paths, etc). Stones

may be discharged and cause serious injuries to

bystanders and/or property damage.

7. Stop the equipment immediately after striking an

obstruction or if the machine begins to vibrate

abnormally. Have the machine inspected and

repaired before resuming operation.

8. Do not idle engine for long periods of time if not

mowing, heat from the tractor can damage grass.

Stop the engine.

9. If there is any doubt about adequate clearance

between objects when mowing, raise the mowers

and reduce speed until obstacles are cleared.

Leaving a tractor running and

unattended can be fatal or

cause serious injury.

Before you clean, adjust, or repair this

equipment, disengage all drives, lower

implements to the ground, engage parking brake,

stop engine and remove key from ignition switch

to prevent injuries.

6.3 TO START ENGINE __________________________________________________________

Starting assist fluids are very

flammable and can be fatal or

cause serious injury.

Do not use starting assist fluids.

Use of such

fluids in the air intake system may be potentially

explosive or cause a “Runaway” engine condition

and could result in serious engine damage.

1. Adjust the seat and fasten the seat belt.

2. Remove feet from pedals, place implement switch in

“OFF” position.

Figure 6A

3. Engage parking brake and set throttle lever

approximately 1/4 to 1/3 throttle. The engine should

be started at low idle.

4. Turn ignition switch to “ON” position.

5. Depress glow plug switch for approximately 7

seconds, then release switch. The colder the

temperature, the longer it will take to energize the

plugs. This step is not necessary when starting a

warm engine.

6. Turn ignition key to “START” position and release as

soon as engine starts. Do not hold key in the start

position for more than 15 seconds at a time. If

engine does not start, turn ignition switch to OFF,

wait 30 seconds and try again.

7. Do not operate engine at high RPM immediately

after starting. The engine oil pressure lamp (

A

-

Figure 5A) will be on until the pressure reaches

normal operating level. If the lamp remains on, stop

the engine immediately and have the system

inspected.

When starting at temperatures

below 40°F (4°C), operate the

engine at idle (approx 1000 RPM) for 5 minutes

to prevent damage to engine or hydraulic system.
