6. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and

practical instruction. 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 slope

will 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 distribution.

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

will be used and remove all objects which may be

thrown by the machine.

3. WARNING-Fuel is highly flammable.

a. Store fuel in containers specifically

designed 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 fuel

while the engine is running or when the engine

is hot.

d. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the

engine but move the machine away from the

area of spillage and avoid creating any source

of ignition until the fuel vapors 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 assembly 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 rotating one

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

Operator Safety

Operation

1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space

where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes

can collect.

2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

3. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all

blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral.

4. Do not use on slopes of more than 10 degrees.

5. Remember there is no such thing as a “safe” slope.

Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. 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 travelling 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 care when pulling loads or using

heavy equipment.

a. Use only approved drawbar hitch points.

b. Limit loads to those you can safely control.

c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when driving

in reverse.

d. Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when

suggested in the Operator’s Manual.

7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or

near roadways.

8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces

other than grass.

9. When using any attachments, never direct the

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 protective devices

in place.

11. Do not change the engine governor settings or

overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at

excessive speed may increase the hazard of

personal injury.

mower for damage and make repairs before

restarting and operating the equipment;

d. if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally

(check immediately).

14. Disengage drive to attachments when transporting

or not in use.

15. Stop the engine and disengage drive to

the attachment

a. before refuelling;

b. before removing the grass bagger;

c. before making height adjustment unless

adjustment can be made from the operator’s

position.

16. Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out

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

turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.

17. Before and when backing, look behind and down

for small children.

18. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,

shrubs, trees or other objects that may

obscure vision.

Maintenance and Storage

1. On multi-blade machines, take care as rotating one

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

WARNING

Follow the engine manufacturer’s instructions

for the type of fuel and oil to use. Always use a

safety fuel container. Do not smoke when

adding fuel to the engine. When inside an

enclosure, do not fill with fuel. Before you add

fuel, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for

several minutes.

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 deck from

cutting level. The correct air pressure is: Front Tires 1,0

BAR (14 PSI), Rear Tires 0,7 BAR (10 PSI). The tires

were over inflated for shipment.

Prepare the Engine

NOTE: Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
