RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION AND WORK
3. RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION AND WORK
This chapter shows the general safety precautions to be observed during driving or operation. Try to carry out
driving or operation safely by being sure to follow the safety instructions in other chapters as well.
Page 11
PRECAUTIONS WHEN DRIVING THE MOWER
PROHIBIT QUICK STARTING, ACCELERATING,
TURNING AND BRAKING
Avoid quick starting, sudden accelerating, sharp turns and
braking. Always drive safely. Before driving ensure the area
around the machine is safe. On soft and wet ground never try
sudden or sharp turning or stops, as this may cause the
machine to slip or turnover.
OBSERVE SAFE SPEED
Drive at safe speeds on a slope in accordance with the conditions.
ENGINE BRAKE ON DOWN HILL
When driving down a slope, stop once before going down
and set the aux. speed change lever to the "Low" position.
Use engine brake.
DO NOT DRIVE ACROSS SLOPES
On slopes go straight up or down within the limits of
machine gradeability. Driving across slopes is dangerous.

Page 12
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
DO NOT OPERATE IN DANGEROUS PLACES
Remove all obstacles. Do not operate on steep slopes or soft
and rough ground and avoid dangerous places.
SECURE AREA (NO ADMlTTANCE) DURING
OPERATION
Post notice boards before that operating that job site is under
operation. If necessary, apply guard ropes to enclose and
restrict access so that people (especially children) may not
enter the work area and safety may be ensured.
BEWARE OF FLYING OBJECTS
During operation make sure that stones and small objects are
not discharged to nearby persons, animals, crops, cars or
other objects.

FUNCTIONS OF COMPONENTS
Main switch ............................Start the engine or stall the engine with this switch by means of
remote control.
When the machine is not used remove and keep the key.
Accelerator lever .......................Increases and decreases engine speed.
Choke lever ............................When the lever is pulled, the choke valve closes, and when it is
returned, the choke valve opens. Pull the lever when starting the
engine and return it after the engine is started.
(In the case of CM1305, the choke lever is connected with the accelerator lever.)
HST lever ..............................The HST lever changes the discharge of the hydraulic pump in the
HST and changes the advancing direction and travelling speed in a
stepless way.
When pushing the lever forward from neutral position the machine
starts to move forward. Pulling the lever in reverse makes machine
drive backward. Speed increases as lever is depressed in either direction.
AUX. speed change lever ...............Use this lever when shifting speed to high/low levels.
Speed shift can be used while driving.
Brake pedal ............................Use to stop the machine.
When depressing brake pedal HST lever returns to neutral and stops
the machine.
Differential lock lever ..................Use this lever when slipping one side of the rear wheels.
When lever is pushed to "ON", the differential lock is engaged.
When lever is "OFF", the differential lock is released (normal driving
position).
During normal driving always put the lever to "OFF" position.
Light switch ............................Headlamp is turned on when switch is pulled.
Parking brake lock lever ................After stopping the machine, pull the lock lever downward to lock
brake pedal.
Blade height adjusting lever ..............Adjusts the height of blade (5 steps)
Blade clutch lever ......................Turns on and off the power of blade.
When putting this lever to "OFF" position, the cutter brake pulley is
engaged and the brake is applied.
Grass outlet ............................Secure area around machine before opening. Opening outlet allows
cut grass to be easily removed. Open outlet when changing cutter
blade.
Outlet should be closed during normal use to prevent stones and
other objects from being thrown from machine.

6.1 PREPARATIONS FOR OPERATION
6.1.1 Fuel Handling
•Petrol (gasoline) fuel is flammable. Never
refuel or service the fuel system while smoking or when near open flames or sparks.
•Never refuel the machine when the engine is
running
• After stopping engine, the engine becomes
hotter. Therefore fuel must be handled with
great care when refueling. Do not spill fuel
out of filler cap.
DANGER
1. Check the fuel gauge visually. If fuel is not reserved
enough, open the filler cap and pour fuel.
Fuel to be used : page 28
Fuel tank capacity : page 28
• When fuel gauge needle approaches empty
"E", refuel as soon as possible.
• When using the unit on slopes, refuel less
than the upper fuel limit for the fuel filter in
the lubrication port.
2. Close the filler cap firmly after refueling

When the work load is large (i.e. the amount of weeds is large),
carry out work by decreasing the speed or cut grass twice.
9. If grass outflow is not smooth, slightly open the right side of
the grass outlet cover.
Beware of stones or other objects which may
come of cutter blade area when opening the
grass outlet cover. Therefore, ensure the safety
completely.
Carry out the mowing operation in the forward
direction. Do not perform the operation in the
backward direction, because it makes grass
discharge poor and causes stones or other
objects to scatter.

7.4.1 Engine Oil
Inspection/Refilling
1. Park machine on a horizontal surface.
2. Remove oil gauge.
Inspect engine oil quantity either before starting
engine or more than 5 minutes after stopping
engine. Immediately after stopping engine, oil
still remains in engine parts and correct oil
quantity inspection is impossible.
NOTE
3. Check the amount of engine oil visually. If it is not in the
range A, supply engine oil.
4. Visually check the engine oil for dirt. When the engine
oil is very dirty, replace it.
Fuel to be used : page 28
Amount of engine oil :
In the case of CM1801
Within the range A with the oil gauge tightened
In the case of CM1305 :

7.4 LUBRICATION
• Insufficient or improper lubrication not only
causes the machine to fail to achieve
smooth turning but also causes it to break
down, shortening the life of the machine.
Therefore, fill the machine with the right
amount of designated good quality oil on a
regular basis.
• Always shut off the engine before inspection
or servicing.

Charging
• Always remove the battery from the vehicle
before charging. Charging the battery on
vehicle may cause damage to electrical
parts or wiring harnesses.
• Connect cables to correct terminals of the
battery. Connecting to wrong terminal will
immediately blow the fuse and render the
battery not rechargeable.
•
When disconnecting cables from the battery,
disconnect plus terminal first. If you reverse
the order, the battery may be shorted if a tool
touches any conductive part of the battery.
• When reinstalling the removed battery, correctly connect the plus and minus cables
and properly route and secure the cables
with the tightening bolt so that they will not
cause a short circuit with the other parts of
the vehicle body.

Quick charging is a method to partially
recharge a battery in a short time with a large
amount of current. This method should be used
only in emergencies. After quick charging,
always fully recharge the battery according to
the proper procedure as soon as possible.
Quick charging will extremely shorten battery
life.
NOTE
1. Remove the battery.
2. Connect a battery charger with the battery matching the
polarities. (Follow the instructions in the battery charger
operation manual.)

7.10 AFTER-USE MAINTENANCE
(Normal use)
Remove all dirt, water and foreign objects from the
body. Do not use water to wash the engine, the operation panel, or the filling plugs/caps. Water will damage parts and cause rust built up.
Cover the vehicle with a water-proof sheet when placing it outdoors.
(In cold season)
Remove all dirt, water and foreign objects from the

10. TRANSPORTATION OF/WITH THIS VEHICLE
When loading and unloading the machine onto or from truck, follow the procedures below.
1. Prepare running boards with enough strength (durable to hold both machine and driver's weight), width (twice
width of tire width), length (more than three times as long as the truck loading body height), and abrasive surface. Place the boards as shown below so that the boards firmly keep their positions even when the machine
rides on them.
2. Securely hook the running boards to truck so that there is no difference in height between the boards and the
truck's loading bed.
