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

Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.c.
Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when d. suggested in the In struction Book.
Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.7.
Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other 8. than grass.
When using any attachments, never direct discharge of 9. material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the
machine while in operation.
Never operate the mower with defective guards or 10. shields, or without safety protec tive devices in place.
Do not change the engine governor set tings or 11. overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at
excessive speed may in crease the hazard of
personal injury.
Before leaving the operator’s position:12.
disengage the power take-off and lower a. the attachments;
change into neutral and set the park ing brake;b.
stop the engine and remove the key.c.
Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine, 13. and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the
ignition key:
before cleaning blockages or unclog ging chute;a.
before checking, cleaning or working on the mower;b.
after striking a foreign object. Inspect the mower c. for damage and make re pairs before restarting and
operating the equipment;
if the machine starts to vibrate abnor mally d. (check immediately).
Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or 14. not in use.
Stop the engine and disengage drive to at tachment:15.
before refuelling;a.
before removing the grass catcher;b.
before making height adjustment un less adjustment c. can be made from the operator’s position.
Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if 16. the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel
off at the con clusion of mowing.
Before and when backing, look 17.
behind and down
for
small children.
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, 18. trees or other objects that may obscure vision.
Maintenance And Storage
On multi-blade machines, take care as ro tating one 1. blade can cause other blades to rotate.
When machine is to be parked, stored or left 2. unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive
mechanical lock is used.
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the 3. equipment is in safe working condition.
Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside 4. a building where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.5.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, 6. battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
grass, leaves, or ex cessive grease.
Check the grass catcher frequently for wear 7. or deterioration.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.8.

Add Petrol
WARNING: Always use a safety petrol
container. Do not smoke when adding
petrol to the fuel tank. Do not add petrol
when you are inside an enclosure. Before
you add petrol, stop the engine and let the
engine cool for several minutes.
(Figure 8) Fill the
fuel tank (A)
to the
FULL (B
) position
with regular unleaded petrol. Do not use premium unleaded
petrol. Make sure the petrol is fresh and clean. Leaded petrol
will increase deposits and shorten the life of the valves.
How To Start The Engine
WARNING: The electrical system has an
operator presence system that includes a
sensor switch for the seat. These
components tell the electrical system if the
operator is sitting on the seat. This system
will stop the engine when the operator
leaves the seat. For your protection, always
make sure this system operates correctly.
NOTE: The engine will not start unless you fully depress
the brake pedal and move the blade rotation control to the
DISENGAGE
position.
Push the brake pedal fully forward. Keep your foot on 1. the pedal.
Make sure the blade rotation control is in the 2.
DISENGAGE

Slowly move the throttle control to the SLOW position.5.
To start a hot engine, move the throttle con trol to a 6. position between FAST and SLOW.
Mowing And Bagging Tips
For a lawn to look better, check the cutting level of the 1. mower housing. See authorized dealer.
For the mower housing to cut level, make sure the tires 2. have the correct amount of air pressure.
Every time you use the unit, check the blade. If the 3. blade is bent or damaged, immediately replace the
blade. Also, make sure the nut for the blade is tight.
Keep the blade(s) sharpened. Worn blades will cause 4. the ends of the grass to turn brown.
Do not cut or bag grass that is wet. Wet grass will not 5. discharge correctly. Let the grass dry before cutting.
Use the left side of the mower housing to trim near 6. an object.
Discharge the cut grass onto the mowed area. The 7. result is a more even discharge of cut grass.
When you mow large areas, start by turning to the right 8. so that the cut grass will dis charge away from shrubs,
fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in
the op posite direction making left turns until fin ished.
If the grass is very high, cut two times to de crease the 9. load on the engine. First cut with the mower housing in
the highest position and then lower the mower housing
for the second cut.
For better engine performance and an even discharge 10. of the cut grass, always operate the engine with the
throttle in FAST position.
When you use a bagger, operate the engine with the 11. throttle in FAST position and the speed control pedal
pushed 1/3 to 1/2 for ward.
After each use, clean the bottom and top of the mower 12. housing for better performance. Also, a clean mower
housing will help pre vent a fire.

Check Tire Pressure
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).

Storage
WARNING: Never store the unit (with fuel)
in an enclosed, ventilated structure. Fuel
vapors can travel to an ignition source
(such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and
cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic
to humans and animals.
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Equipment
Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool, dry
place and fully charged about once a month. If the battery is
left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FUEL FIT® fuel stabilizer, available as a liquid
additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a
fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the
engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the
fuel system. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.
Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a
fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See the
engine manual.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
Perform all recommended checks and procedures found in this manual.
Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before use.
