Operation

• 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.

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

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.

General Driving

Safety 1

-7-

• 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.

• Do not make 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, the drive pedal 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 turning 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.

• Avoid driving the machine across a slope.

• Before driving down a slope, stop and shift auxiliary transmission to [L (low)] position. Drive
slowly. Use the engine speed to help keep the machine speed low.

• Never use on a slope steeper than 25 degrees for the CMX227H and the CMX186H,

and 15 degrees for the CM226H and CM185H.

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

injury or death. Take the following precautions.

Cutting

When conducting cutting operation, take the following precautions.

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

• Shutt off the work site. Post signs to inform of the cutting operation. 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.

• 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.

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.

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

• Whenever you park the machine, apply the parking brake and stop the engine. Remove
the key whenever you leave the machine unattended to prevent unauthorized use or
accidental starting.

• Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive. When parking the machine
indoors, make certain that the building is well ventilated and that the machine is not close
to any source of ame or spark, including appliances with pilot lights.

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
back 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.

• Never place any part of body under cutting blade shield.

Cutting

• Always wear protective footwear, long trousers, hardhat, safety glasses and

ear protection when operating or servicing the machine. Proper clothing will

minimize the chance of injury. Do not operate the equipment if you have long

hair, loose clothing, or jewelry; all of which may get tangled in moving parts. Do

not operate the machine barefoot or with open sandals.

• Do not allow bystanders to come near machine when mowing.

• Rotating cutting blades can throw stones or debris and cause injuries and

damages to nearby people, animals, crops, buildings, automobiles, etc. Pay

attention to the safety of surroundings and plan ahead when cutting.

• Never attempt to cut with cutting blade shield open.

• When mowing, drive forward. Machine is intended to mow brush while moving

forward, and this best prevents stones and debris from being thrown.

• Turn cutting rotary clutch to [ON] only when mowing. Keep it in [OFF] position

all the other times.

• Never attempt to mow brush on the edge of a ditch or bank. Shoulder of the

ditch or bank may collapse. Pay special attention after heavy rain or earthquake.

• Inspect the work site beforehand; inspect terrain and locate holes, drops, or

obstacles. Also inspect overhead obstacles such as the branches of a tree. Pay

special attention when working near these areas.

• Do not use this machine on an incline steeper than 25 degres for the AWD

model or 15 degrees for the 2WD model.

-37-

Operation 4

• When working in a dusty area, clean air cleaner element twice a day. Dirty air

cleaner element results in poor starting, poor performance, or short life.

• When a cutting blade is broken, replace it and the other blade with a new pair. A

broken blade causes excessive vibration, which damages machine.

• When something is tangled to cutting blade, stop engine immediately and

remove the tangled object. Such object causes excessive vibration, which

damages machine.

• Always clean cutting blades and cutting blade stay after every use ( see page

77). Remained foreign object may solidied or corrode and make cutting blades

hard to remove.

• In case cut grass, dust, or foreign object enters between cutting blade pin and

slot, making it difcult to remove cutting blade, use a athead screw driver or

similar tool to remove such object rst.

• Use [L] mode when mowing. Mowing in [H] mode puts excessive strain on

mowing mechanism and may damage it.

• Always stay on machine when mowing.

• Make sure air intake for cooling is not clogged or blocked. If it is clogged or

blocked, it causes overheating, resulting in damages to machine.
