8. Never direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid

discharging material against a wall or obstruction.

Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the

blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces.

9. Do not operate the machine without the entire grass

catcher, discharge guard (deflector), or other safety

devices in place.

10. Slow down before turning.

11. Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disengage

the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove

starter insert before dismounting.

12. Disengage blades (PTO) when not mowing. Shut off

engine and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop

before cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher,

or unclogging the discharge guard.

13. Operate the machine only in daylight or good artificial light.

14. Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol

or drugs.

15. Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways.

16. Use extra care when loading or unloading the unit into a

trailer or truck.

17. Always wear eye protection when operating this unit.

18. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of power equipmentrelated injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the equipment safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury.

19. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights.

20. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents occurring to other people or property.

21. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction.

22. Always wear substantial footwear and trousers. Never operate when barefoot or wearing sandals.

23. Before using, always visually check that the blades and blade hardware are present, intact, and secure. Replace worn or damaged parts.

24. Disengage attachments before: refueling, removing an attachment, making adjustments (unless the adjustment can be made from the operator’s position).

25. When the machine is parked, stored, or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used.

26. Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason, engage the parking brake, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and remove the starter insert.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE

1. When transporting the unit on an open trailer, make sure it is facing forward, in the direction of travel. If the unit is facing backwards, wind lift could damage the unit.

2. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the unit after transportation or storage.

3. Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly 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.

4. Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage preparations before storing the unit for both short and long term periods.

5. Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.

6. Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a water heater. Allow unit to cool before storing.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it. 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 tire grip on the ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the type of machine is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness of the ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution.

1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3. Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop or change speeds while on the slope.

4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

5. Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

6. Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to rollover.

8. Use extra care while operating machines with grass catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of the unit. Do not use on steep slopes.

9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground (ride-on units).

10. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

11. Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes.

12. Do not mow slopes if you cannot back up them.

13. See your authorized dealer/retailer for recommendations of wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.

14. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

15. Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even through the brakes are functioning properly.

16. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

WARNING

Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent (10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in 20 feet (607 cm) horizontally. When operating on slopes use additional wheel weights or counterweights. See your dealer/retailer to determine which weights are available and appropriate for your unit. Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope. In addition to front weights, use extra caution when operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass catchers. Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face, use caution when changing directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.

2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

3. Before and during reverse operation, look behind and down for small children.

4. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe unit operation. Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.

5. Never allow children to operate the unit.

6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

TOWED EQUIPMENT (RIDE-ON UNITS)

1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.

2. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight limit for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.

5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

6. Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Safe Handling of Gasoline

1. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

2. Use only approved gasoline containers.

3. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

4. Never fuel the machine indoors.

5. Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as near a water heater or other appliance.

6. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

7. Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

8. Keep nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

9. If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

10. Never over-fill the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.

11. Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are flammable and vapors are explosive.

12. 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 fuel vapors have dissipated.

13. Replace all fuel tank caps and fuel container caps securely.

WARNING

If the unit does not pass a safety test, do not operate it. See an authorized dealer.

Safety Interlock System Tests

This unit is equipped with a Safety Interlock System. Do not attempt to bypass or tamper with the switches/devices.

Test 1 — Engine should NOT crank if:

• PTO switch is ON, OR

• Brake pedal is NOT fully depressed (parking brake OFF).

Test 2 — Engine SHOULD crank and start if:

• Operator is sitting in seat, AND

• PTO switch is OFF, AND

• Brake pedal is fully depressed (parking brake ON).

Test 3 — Engine should SHUT OFF if:

• Operator rises off seat.

Test 4 — Check Mower Blade Stopping Time

Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a complete stop within five seconds after electric PTO switch is turned OFF. If mower drive belt does not stop within five seconds, see an authorized dealer.

Test 5 — Check Reverse Mow Option (RMO)

• Engine should shut off if reverse travel is attempted if the PTO has been switched on and RMO has not been activated.

• RMO light should illuminate when RMO has been activated.

Oil Recommendations

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.

* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting. ** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil

consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

WARNING

Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Never activate the RMO if children are present. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity.

Check or Add Oil

Before adding or checking the oil

• Place the tractor on a level surface (see Figure 4).

• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.

1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 5) and wipe with a clean

cloth.

2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.

3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be

at the FULL mark (B) on the dipstick.

4. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill (C). Do not

overfill. After adding oil, wait one minute and then recheck the oil level.

NOTE: Do not add oil at the quick oil drain (if equipped).

5. Replace and tighten the dipstick.

Oil Pressure

If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped) will either stop the engine or activate a warning device on the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the oil level with the dipstick.

If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper pressure before continuing to operate.

If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the oil pressure problem corrected.

Fuel Recommendations

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude

use, see below.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is acceptable.

NOTICE: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels will damage the engine components and void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the same. If starting or performance problems occur, change fuel providers or change brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emissions control system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications)

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See an authorized Briggs & Stratton Dealer for high altitude adjustment information.

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude adjustment is not recommended.

5. Assemble the dry pre-cleaner to the filter.

6. Install the filter on the intake. Push the end of the filter into the base as shown. Make sure filter fits securely in the base.

7. Install air filter cover and secure with fasteners.

Check Spark Plug Gap

Use a spark plug feeler gauge to check the gap between the two electrodes. When the gap is correct, the gauge will drag slightly as you pull it through the gap (see Figure 13).

WARNING

Running engine produces heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely hot. Severe thermal burns can occur on contact. Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush,

etc. can catch fire.

• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.

• Remove visible debris from engine compartment.

WARNING

Replacement parts must be the same position as the original parts or fire could result.

To service the muffler, see an authorized dealer.

Servicing the Spark Plugs

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock. Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or laceration.

When testing for spark:

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• Do not check for spark with spark plug removed.

CAUTION: Spark plugs have different heat ranges. It is important that the correct spark plug is used, otherwise, engine damage can occur.

If necessary, use the spark plug gauge to adjust the gap by gently bending the curved electrode without touching the center electrode or the porcelain.

Install Spark Plug

Finger tighten, then tighten with wrench (see Figure 14).

• 180 in-lbs (20 Nm), OR

• 1/2 turn when reinstalling the original spark plug. 1/4 turn when installing a new spark plug.

Clean Spark Plug

Clean with wire brush and sturdy knife. Do NOT use abrasives (D, Figure 5).

Storage

WARNING

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, unventilated 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

other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.

Equipment

Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and remove the ignition key.

Store battery in a cool, dry place and keep fully charged during storage. 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® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine

service parts are sold.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil. See Changing the Engine Oil section.

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.

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 before storage.

Power Ratings

The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON. COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this engine.

BETJENING PÅ SKRÅNINGER

Skråninger er en væsentlig årsag til ulykker hvor man mister herredømmet eller vælter og som kan medføre alvorlige kvæstelser eller død. Arbejde på enhver skråning kræver ekstra forsigtighed. Hvis du ikke kan gå baglæns op ad en skråning eller hvis du ikke er tryg ved det, skal du ikke arbejde på den. På en skråning kan man ikke genvinde herredømmet over en plæneklipper ved at bremse. Hovedårsagerne til at man mister herredømmet er: dæk med utilstrækkeligt greb på underlaget, for høj hastighed, utilstrækkelig bremsning, maskintypen er uegnet til opgaven, manglende kendskab til jordforholdene, forkert tilkobling og vægtfordeling.

1. Slå græs tværs over skråningen, ikke op og ned.

2. Hold udkig efter huller, furer og forhøjninger. Ujævnt terræn kan vælte maskinen. Højt græs kan skjule forhindringer.

3. Vælg en lav hastighed så du ikke behøver at stoppe eller ændre hastighed mens du er på skråningen.

4. Slå ikke på vådt græs. Dækkene kan miste deres greb.

5. Maskinen skal altid være i gear, især ved kørsel på skråninger. Lad ikke maskinen løbe i frigear ned ad bakke.

6. Undgå at starte, stoppe eller dreje på en skråning. Hvis dækkene mister deres grev, frakobl kniven(ene) og fortsæt langsomt lige ned ad skråningen.

7. Sørg for at al bevægelse på skråninger er langsom og gradvis. Foretag ikke pludselige ændringer i hastighed eller retning som kunne få maskinen til at vælte.

8. Vær ekstra forsigtig når du bruger maskiner med opsamlere eller andet udstyr; de kan påvirke maskinens stabilitet. Undlad at bruge på stejle skråninger.

9. Du må ikke forsøge at stabilisere maskinen ved at sætte din fod på jorden (ridere).

10. Slå ikke græs nær skrænter, grøfter eller jordvolde. Plæneklipperen kan pludselig vælte hvis et hjul rager over kanten på en skrænt eller grøft eller hvis en kant styrter sammen.

11. Brug ikke opsamlere på stejle skråninger.

12. Slå ikke græs på skråninger hvis du ikke kan bakke op ad dem.

13. Henvend dig til din autoriserede forhandler angående anbefalinger om hjulvægte og modvægte.

14. Fjern forhindringer, såsom sten, grene osv.

15. Benyt lav hastighed. Dækkene kan miste deres greb på skråninger selvom bremserne fungerer godt.

16. Drej ikke på skråninger medmindre det er yderst påkrævet; hvis du drejer, gør det da langsomt og gradvist nedad, såvidt muligt.

ADVARSEL

Arbejd aldrig på skråninger med en stigning over 17,6 procent (10°) som er en stigning på 106 cm (3-1/2 fødder) lodret per 607 cm (20 fødder) vandret. Når du arbejder på skråninger, brug ekstra hjulvægte eller modvægte. Henvend dig til din forhandler/ detailhander for at finde ud af, hvilke passende vægte er til rådighed for maskinen. Vælg en lav hastighed før du kører ind på skråningen. Udover de forreste vægte, skal der også udvises ekstra forsigtighed når du arbejder på skråninger med en bagmonteret opsamler. Slå OP og NED ad skåningen, aldrig tværs over overfladen, og vær forsigtig når du ændrer retning. DU MÅ IKKE STARTE ELLER STOPPE PÅ EN SKRÅNING.

BØRN

Der kan ske alvorlige ulykker hvis føreren ikke er opmærksom på børns tilstedeværelse. Børn tiltrækkes ofte til enheden og aktiviteterne i forbindelse med græsslåning. Gå aldrig ud fra at børn vil blive, hvor du så dem sidst.

1. Hold børn væk fra græsslåningsområdet og under opsyn af en anden ansvarlig voksen.

2. Vær opmærksom og sluk for maskinen hvis der kommer børn ind på området.

3. Før og mens du bakker skal du altid se ned og bagud og passe på små børn.

4. Tag aldrig børn med på maskinen, selv med kniven(e) slået fra. De kan falde af og blive alvorligt kvæstet eller være i vejen for sikker brug af maskinen. Børn, som før har fået en køretur, kan pludselig dukke op i græsslåningsområdet for at få en tur mere og blive kørt ned eller bakket ned af maskinen.

5. Lad aldrig børn bruge maskinen.

6. Udvis ekstra forsigtighed, når du nærmer dig hjørner med dårligt sigt, buske, træer eller andre genstande, der kan blokere dit udsyn.

2. Følg producentens anbefalinger angående vægtbegrænsning for påhængsudstyr og bugsering på skråninger.

3. Lad aldrig børn eller andre være i eller på påhængsudstyr.

4. På skråninger kan vægten af påhængsudstyr medføre at maskinen mister grebet og føreren mister herredømmet.

5. Kør langsomt og påregn ekstra afstand til at stoppe.

6. Lad ikke maskinen løbe i frigear ned ad bakke.

SERVICE OG VEDLIGEHOLDELSE

Sikker Omgang med Benzin

1. Sluk alle cigaretter, cigarer, piber og andre antændelseskilder.

2. Brug kun godkendte benzindunke.

3. Fjern aldrig benzindækslet eller fyld benzin på med motoren i gang. Lad motoren køle ned før du fylder benzin på.

4. Fyld aldrig benzin på indendørs.

5. Opbevar aldrig maskinen eller en brændstofbeholder hvor der er åben ild, gnist eller en tændflamme, som f.eks. nær en vandvarmer eller andre el-apparater.

6. Du må aldrig fylde beholdere inde i et køretøj eller på ladet af en lastbil med ladbeklædning af plastik. Du skal altid placere beholdere på jorden og med afstand til dit køretøj før du påfylder dem.

7. Fjern benzindrevet udstyr fra lastbilen eller anhængeren og fyld det op på jorden. Hvis dette er umuligt, må du fylde dette udstyr på anhængeren op med en benzindunk, i stedet for direkte fra en benzinpumpe.

8. Hold pumpens tud mod kanten af tankens eller beholderens åbning uafbrudt indtil du er færdig med at fylde op. Brug ikke en tudlås-åbningsindretning.

9. Hvis du har spildt brændstof på tøjet skal du øjeblikkelig skifte tøj.

10. Overfyld aldrig benzintanken. Sæt benzindækslet på igen og stram det forsvarligt.

11. Vær ekstra forsigtig ved omgang med benzin og andet brændstof. De er brændbare og dampene kan eksplodere.

12. Hvis du har spildt brændstof må du ikke prøve at starte motoren, men flyt maskinen væk fra stedet hvor du har spildt og undgå at bruge nogen form for antænding indtil brændstofdampene er forsvundet.

13. Sæt alle dæksler til benzintank og benzindunke forsvarligt på igen.

Service & Vedligeholdelse

1. Lad aldrig maskinen gå i et lukket område hvor der kan samles kuliltedampe.

2. Sørg for at møtrikker og bolte, især boltene som holder knivene, er fastspændte og hold udstyret i god stand.

3. Lav aldrig om på sikkerhedsanordninger. Kontroller med jævne mellemrum om de virker ordentligt og foretag nødvendige reparationer, hvis de ikke er funktionsdygtige.

4. Hold maskinen fri for græs, blade og andet ophobet affald. Tør spildt olie eller brændstof op og fjern alle affaldsrester der er tilsølet i brændstof. Lad maskinen køle af før opbevaring.

5. Hvis du rammer en genstand skal du stoppe og undersøge maskinen. Om nødvendigt må du reparere den inden du starter igen.

10. Vedligehold eller udskift sikkerheds- og instruktionsmærkater efter behov.

11. Du må ikke fjerne brændstoffilteret mens motoren er varm da spildt benzin kan antændes. Sæt ikke klemmerne til brændstofledningen med større afstand end nødvendigt.

Sørg for at klemmerne holder slangerne godt fast over filteret efter montering.

12. Brug ikke benzin indeholdende METANOL, biobenzin indeholdende mere end 10% ETHANOL, benzintilsætninger eller renset benzin da det kan beskadige motoren/brændstofsystemet.

13. Hvis brændstoftanken skal tømmes, skal det gøres udendørs.

14. Udskift defekte lydpotter/udstødningsrør.

15. Brug kun producentens autoriserede reservedele, når du reparerer.

16. Følg altid producentens anvisninger for alle indstillinger og justeringer.

17. Du bør kun anvende autoriserede service værksteder for mere omfattende service og reparationer.

18. Forsøg aldrig at udføre større reparationer af denne maskine, hvis du ikke har den nødvendige uddannelse. Ukorrekte serviceprocedurer kan gøre maskinen farlig at bruge, beskadige udstyret og annullere producentens garanti.

19. Vær forsigtig når du drejer en kniv på en plæneklipper med flere knive da det kan få de andre knive til også at dreje.

20. Du må ikke ændre motorens regulatorindstilling eller overskride motorens tilladte hastighed. Betjening af motoren ved for høj hastighed kan øge risikoen for personskade.

21. Du skal frakoble motordrevet udstyr, slukke motoren, fjerne nøglen og afbryde tændrørsledningen/erne inden: du renser blokeringer af udstyret og udkast, før du udfører servicearbejde, rammer en genstand, eller hvis maskinen begynder at vibrere mere end normalt. Efter at have ramt en genstand skal du kontrollere maskinen for skader og foretage reparationer før du genoptager betjeningen af den.

22. Hold aldrig dine hænder nær ved bevægelige dele, såsom en hydrostatisk pumpes køleventilator, mens traktoren er i gang. (hydrostatiske pumpers køleventilatorer er normalt placeret ovenpå transmissionsakslen).

23. Maskiner med hydrauliske pumper, slanger eller motorer:

ADVARSEL:Hydraulikvæske der lækker under tryk kan

gennemtrænge huden og medføre alvorlige kvæstelser. Hvis en fremmed væske presses ind gennem huden skal den bortopereres indenfor få timer af en læge med erfaring i denne form for kvæstelse; ellers kan der opstå koldbrand. Hold både krop og hænder på afstand af små huller eller dyser som sprøjter hydraulikvæske ud under højtryk. Anvend papir eller pap, ikke hænder, til at lede efter lækager. Sørg for at alle hydraulikvæskeforbindelser er tætte og at alle hydraulikslanger og ledninger er i god stand før du sætter systemet under tryk. Hvis der forekommer lækage skal maskinen omgående til service hos din autoriserede forhandler.

24. ADVARSEL: IUkorrekt udløsning af fjedre kan medføre alvorlig personskade. Fjedre bør fjernes af en autoriseret tekniker.

25. Modeller med en motorkøler:

ADVARSEL: For at forebygge alvorlige kvæstelser fra

overophedet kølervæske eller dampudblæsning, må man aldrig forsøge at fjerne kølerdækslet mens motoren kører. Sluk motoren og vent til den er kold. Selv da skal du være yderst forsigtig når du fjerner dækslet.

Funktioner og betjeningsanordninger

Se figur 2 for placering.

Bremsepedal

Når der trædes på bremsepedalen, aktiveres traktorens bremse.

Fartpilot

Dette fastlåser hastighedskontrollen i fremad retning. Fartpilothåndtaget har fem faste positioner.

Brændstoftank

Drej mod uret for at fjerne dækslet.

Hastighedspedaler

De fremadrettede hastighedspedaler styrer traktorens hastighed fremad. De bagudadrettede hastighedspedaler styrer traktorens hastighed bagud.

Vælg baglæns plæneklipning (RMO)

Dette muliggør at føreren kan slå græs (eller anvende andet kraftudtagsdrevet udstyr) mens man kører baglæns. For at aktivere drejes RMO nøglen efter kraftudtaget er blevet aktiveret. LED-lampen lyser, og førern kan derefter køre baglæns. Hver gang PTO/kraftudtaget frakobles, skal RMO genaktiveres, hvis der er behov for det.

Tændingskontakt

Tændingskontakten starter og stopper motoren. Den har tre stillinger:

FRA: Stopper motoren og slukker for det elektriske system.

KØR: Holder motoren igang og forsyner det elektriske system.

START: Drejer motoren for at starte.

Forlygter kontakt

Denne tænder og slukker for forlygterne på traktoren.

Plæneklipper Klippehøjdeindstilling

Kontakten for klippehøjdeindstilling regulerer plæneklipperens klippehøjde. Klippehøjden kan indstilles til en af syv positioner mellem 3,8 og 10,2 cm (1,5" og 4,0").

Håndbremse

Dette låser håndbremsen når traktoren bliver standset. Se Håndbremse afsnittet.

PTO/kraftudtagskontakten

Kraftudtagskontakten (PTO) tilkobler og frakobler klippeaggregatet. For at tilkoble PTO, træk kontakten OP. Tryk den NED for at frakoble.

BEMÆRK: Bemærk at føreren skal sidde stabilt i sædet for at kraftudtaget vil fungere.

Gasregulerings/choker håndtag (Choke-OMatic)

Gasregulerings/choker håndtaget regulerer motorens hastighed og chokeren. Flyt gasregulerings/chokeren hen på HURTIG positionen for at øge motorens hastighed og hen på LANGSOM positionen for at sænke motorens hastighed. Brug altid fuld gas. Flyt gashåndtaget/ chokeren hen på CHOKER positionen når du skal starte en kold motor. En varm motor behøver sandsynligvis ikke choker.

Transmissionens udløserstang

Dette frigør transmissionen således at traktoren kan skubbes med håndkraft.

Timetæller

Timetæller viser samlet antal akkumulerede kørselstimer som standard. Optalte timer, når der trykkes på knappen MODE.

Generel Driftsikkerhed

Sørg for at læse al information i Sikkerheds- og funktionsafsnittene før du forsøger at bruge denne plæneklipper. Gør dig bekendt med alle betjeningsanordninger og hvordan man stopper maskinen.

Kontrollér dæktrykket

Dækkene skal kontrolleres med jævne mellemrum for at give optimalt traktion og for at garantere det bedste resultat (se figur 3).

BEMÆRK: Bemærk at disse tryk kan være lidt anderledes end det "Maks Tryk" der er påstemplet på siden af dækkene.

ADVARSEL

Hvis maskinen ikke klarer en sikkerhedsprøve må du ikke bruge den. Henvend dig til en autoriseret forhandler.

Afprøvning af sikkerhedslåsesystem

Denne maskine er forsynet med sikkerhedsaflåsningskontakter. Forsøg ikke at omgå eller pille ved kontakterne/enhederne.

Prøve 1 Motoren bør IKKE starte hvis:

• Kraftudtags-kontakten er TIL ELLER

• Bremsepedalen er IKKE trykket helt i bund (parkeringsbremse FRA).

Prøve 2 —Motor SKULLE dreje og starte hvis:

• Føreren sidder i sædet OG

• PTO-kontakten er FRA OG

• Bremsepedalen er trykket helt i bund (parkeringsbremse TIL).

Test 3 — Motor skulle STOPPE hvis:

• Føreren hæver sig fra sædet.

Test 4 — Kontroller stoptiden af plæneklipperens skær

Plæneklipperens skær og drivrem skal stoppe fuldstændigt indenfor fem sekunder efter den elektriske kraftudtagskontakt er slået FRA. Hvis plæneklipperens drivrem ikke stopper indenfor fem sekunder, skal du henvende dig til en autoriseret forhandler.

Test 5 — Vælg baglæns plæneklipning (RMO)

• Motoren bør stoppe, hvis der gøres forsøg på at bakke, og hvis PTO/kraftudtaget er tændt, og hvis RMO ikke er blevet aktiveret.

• RMO lampen bør lyse når RMO er blevet aktiveret.

Olie anbefalinger

Vi anbefaler brugen af Briggs & Stratton garanti certificerede olier til optimal ydelse. Andre olier af tilsvarende høj kvalitet er acceptable hvis de er klassifikeret til service SF, SG, SH, SJ eller højere. Undlad at bruge specielle tilsætningsstoffer.

Udendørstemperatuer er afgørende for den passende olieviskositet til motoren. Brug diagrammet til at vælge den bedste viskositet til det forventede udendørstemperatur interval.

* Under 4° C (40° F) vil brugen af SAE 30 besværliggøre starten. ** Over 80°F (27°C) kan brugen af 10W-30 medføre forhøjet olieforbrug.

Kontrollér olieniveau oftere.

ADVARSEL

Græsslåning i baglæns retning kan være farligt for omkringstående. Der kan ske alvorlige ulykker hvis føreren ikke er opmærksom på børns tilstedeværelse. Hvis der er børn tilstede, må RMO ikke aktiveres. Børn tiltrækkes ofte til enheden og aktiviteterne i forbindelse med græsslåning.
