control for the work place. Following such rules will reduce the risk of accidents.

• Never handle fuel or grease, service the engine, or recharge the battery in the

presence of re or spark.

• Perform the daily pre-startup inspection (see Preparation, pages 15) before starting

the machine. Repair or replace damaged parts before starting the machine.

Preparation

Operation

This machine is intended for cutting grass and bushes. Any other use may pose hazard or
cause damage to the machine.

This machine is intended for daytime use only. Do not use this machine at night, under
insufcient illumination, or in the dark area.

The stability of the machine is affected by the speed, rate of steering, terrain and the
operator's weight. Always pay close attention to these factors or a loss of control or tip over
could occur, resulting in property damage, serious injury or death.

Safety 1

-5-

• Do not operate the engine in a conned space where dangerous carbon monoxide

fumes can accumulate.

• Do not touch the engine, mufer or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or

soon after it has stopped. These areas will be very hot and can cause burns.

• Do not operate the machine under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Do not operate

the machine when you are tired, ill, or not feeling well.

• Always check for obstacles before operating on new terrain. This includes overhead

obstacles such as the branches of a tree.

• Before starting the engine and moving the machine, scan around your surroundings

and make sure all persons and other vehicles are a safe distance away from the

machine.

• On a slippery surface, travel slowly and exercise caution to reduce the chance of

skidding or sliding out of control. Never operate on ice.

• Always make certain that there is no obstacle or a person behind the machine when

backing up. After conrming that it is safe to back up, move slowly and avoid sharp

turns.

• To reduce the risk of tip over, pay special attention when encountering an obstacle

or a slope, or when braking on a slope or during a turn. See Driving on a Slope on

page 8.

• Never attempt to drive over a large obstacle such as rock or fallen tree.

• Always travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Be

alert when traveling on changing terrain.

• Never operate on terrain that you are not comfortable with. Avoid terrain that is so

rough, slippery or loose that you feel like you could tip over.

• Do not operate the machine near the edge of a cliff, an overhang or a slide area. Pay

special attention after heavy rain or earthquake.

General Driving

Safety

-6-

1

• Do not m ake sudden maneuvers. A sudden start, stop, or turn can make the

machine lose control and could cause a tip over. Be especially cautious when

traveling on soft or wet ground.

• Drive at a safe speed, taking into account the surface gradient, surface conditions

and load.

Driving on a Slope

• Always follow proper procedures for driving on a slope as described in this manual.

• Driving on a slope in a wrong manner can cause a loss of control or a vehicle tip

over. Check the terrain carefully before attempting to drive on a slope.

• Never drive on a slope that you are not comfortable with. Avoid a slope that is so

rough, slippery, or loose that you feel like you could tip over.

• When driving up a slope, proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle position.

• Never move the throttle lever, the drive lever, or the steering wheel suddenly.

• If the engine stalls or loses traction during a climb and cannot make it to the top

of the slope, do not try to turn the machine around. Carefully back down slowly,

straight down the slope.

• Drive straight up or down slopes. Avoid sharp turn on a slope.

• When going over the top of a slope, go slow; an obstacle, a sharp drop, or another

vehicle or person could be on the other side of the crest.

• Never use on a slope steeper than 15 degrees.

• Driving on a slope can be dangerous. It can result in a tip over and cause

serious injury or death. Take the following precautions.

Safety 1

-7-

Parking

• Park the machine on a at, level and stable surface. Never park on a slope steeper

than 10 degrees. Avoid parking on a slope less than 10 degrees. If parking on a

slope less than 10 degrees is absolutely unavoidable, apply the parking brake and

block the wheels at the lower end of the machine.

→ Park the machine facing uphill

→ Do not park sideways on a slope.

• Never park on an instable surface. Do not park near the edge of a cliff.

Cutting

When conducting cutting operation, take the following precautions.

• Always follow the proper procedures for cutting as described in this manual.

• Shut off the work site. Post signs to inform that cutting operation is under way.

Close off the site with rope if necessary to keep people, especially children, off the

work site.

• Pay attention to the surrounding area. Rotating cutting blade throws stones, rocks

and debris. This may cause property damage, injury, or death. Always cut grass

with cutting blade shield closed to prevent objects from being thrown out.

• Drive forward when cutting. This best prevents the cutting blades from throwing

stones, rocks, or debris.

• Pay attention to obstacles. This includes overhead obstacles such as the branches

of a tree. Always inspect condition of poorly visible grassy terrain before starting

operation. Other wise you may fall off from such as terrace cliff and cause injury.

• Do not perform cutting operation at night, under insufcient illumination or in the

dark area. It is difcult to see through grass or bush in these lighting conditions.

• Avoid driving the machine across a slope.

• When driving down a slope, drive slowly. Use the engine speed to help keep the

machine speed low.

Servicing

• Do not service the machine when the engine is running. If it is absolutely necessary

to run the engine while servicing, pay attention to the moving parts.

• Do not operate the engine in a conned space where dangerous carbon monoxide

fumes can accumulate.

• Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines

are in good condition and leak-free.

• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic

uid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not your hands, to search

for leaks. Hydraulic uid escaping under pressure can have sufcient force to

penetrate the skin and cause serious injury.

• Check all fuel lines on a regular basis for tightness and wear. Tighten or repair them

as needed.

• If the engine must be running to perform a service, keep hands, feet, clothing and

any part of the body away from any moving part, especially the cooling fan and the

belts at the side of the engine.

• Do not touch the engine, mufer, or exhaust pipe while the engine is running or

soon after it has stopped. These areas will be very hot and can cause burns.

• The engine must be shut off before checking or adding oil.

• Observe all the previous precautions for driving, driving on a slope and cutting.

• Whenever you park the machine, apply the parking brake and stop the engine.

Rem o ve t h e k e y w h ene v er y o u l e ave the mac h ine u nat t end e d t o pre v ent
