1. Safety Rules &

Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers

IMPORTANT: THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY IN6TRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I. Training

Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the ins- tructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets ere nearby.

Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for

accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their

property.

• All ddvers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such instruction should empha-

size:

- the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on machines;

- control of a dde-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake.

The main reasons for loss of control are:

a) insufficient wheel grip; b) being ddven too fast;

c) inadequate braking; d) the type of machine is unsuitable for its task; e) lack of awareness of the effect of ground

conditions,especially slopes;

f) incorrect hitching and load distribution.

II. Preparation

While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when

barefoot or wearing open sandals. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to

be usedand remove all objects which may bethrown by the machine.

WARNING ° Petrol is highly flammable.

- Store fuel in containers specifically designed forthis

purpose.

- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refu-

eling.

- Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.

- If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine

but move the machine away from the area ofspillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol

vapors have dissipated.

- Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.

Replace faulty silencers. 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.

On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

IlL Operation

Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

Before attemptingto start the engine, disengage all blade

attachment clutches and shift into neutral.

Do not use on slopes of more than 10°.

Remember there is no such thing as a"safe" slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning;

- do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill;

- engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear, especially when traveling downhill;

machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and during tight turns;

stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden hazards;

never mow across the face of the slope, unless the lawnmower is designed for this purpose.

Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.

Use only approved drawbar hitch points. Limit loads to those you can safely control.

- Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.

- Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when sug-

gested in the instruction handbook. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways. Stop the blades from rotating before crossing surfaces

other than grass. When using any attachments, never direct discharge of

material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation.

Never operate the lewnmower with defective guards,

shields or without safety protective devices in place.

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed

the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed

may increase the hazard of personal injury. Before leaving the operator's position:

- disengage the power take-off and lower the attach- ments;

- change into neutral and set the parking brake;

- stop the engine and remove the key.

Disengage ddve to attachments, stop the engine, and disconnect the spark plug wira(s) or remove the ignition key

- before cleaning blockages or unclogging chute;

- before checking, cleaning or working on the

lawnmower;

- afferstriking aforeignobject. Inspectthelawnmower

for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment;

if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).

Disengage ddve to attachments when transporting or not in use.

Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment

before refueling;

- before removing the grass catcher;

- before making height adjustment unless adjust-

ment can be madefrem the operator's position.

Reduce the throttle setting dudng engine run-out and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, tum the fuel

off at the conclusion of mowing.

Page 4

IV. Maintenance and Storage

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside

a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

Allow the engine tocool before storing in any enclosure.

To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,

battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deteriora- tion.

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done

outdoors. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

When machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended,

lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used.

_lL CAUTION: Always disconnect spark plug wire and

place wire where it cannot contact spark plug in order to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, adjusting or making repairs.

G Fill|ng up

The engine should be run of pure (not oil mixed) unleaded petrol, Do not fill beyond the lower edge of the filling hole, Do

not fill over max level.

WARNING!

Petrol is highly inflammable. Proceed with care and fill up with petrol outdoors. Do not smoke when filling with petrol or fill up when the engine is warm. Do not overfill the tank since the pertrol can expand and overftow. Make sure that the petrol cap

is securely tightened after filling. Store petrol in a cool place in an appropriate container for engine fuel. Check the petrol tank and pipes.

Page 21

(_ Oil level

The combined oil refilling cap and the oil stick is accessible when the bonnet is lifted forwards, The oil level in the engine

should be checked before each run. Make sure that the tractor

is horizontal. Unscrew the oil stick and wipe clean. Replace

the oil stick and screw tight. Remove again and check the level

(_The oil level should lie between the two markings on the oil

stick. If more oil is needed add SAE 30 oil to the "FULL" marking. SAE 5W-30 oil should be used dudng the winter

(below freezing point).

CAUTION-DO

5. Driving.

(_ Starting of motor

Make sure that the cutting unit isin the transport position (top position) and that the lever for connection/disconnection of the cutting unit is in the disconnection position.

(_)Press down the clutch/brake pedal completely and hold

down, Set the gear lever in neutral "N".

Pull out the choke control (if engine is cold).

position "4"-

(_) Turn the ignition key to "START position".

NOTE!

Do notrunthe start motor more than 5 seconds at once. If the

engine will not start, wait about 10 seconds before the next

try.

Let the ignition key return to the "ON" position when the

engine has started and push in the choke control as soon as

the engine is running smoothly. Push the gas control to the

(_ required speed. For cuffing: full gas.

Page 25

(_ NOTE!

The machine is equipped with a safety switch which immediately breaks the current to the engine if the driver leaves the seat with engine runningand with the connection/ disconnection lever in position =connection".Your machine is also equiped with a system that will not allow mower to operate if the bagger or optional rear discharge deflector is not installed properly.

Driving

Lower the cuttingunit by movingthe lever forwards. Connect the cutting unit. Choose a drivingspeed whichsuits the terrain and required cutting results, Release the brake/clutch pedal slowly,

Page 26

Cutting tips

Clear the lawn from stones and other objects which can be thrown away by the blades.

Localize and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid collision.

Begin with a high cutting height and reduce until the required cutting result is obtained.

The cutting result is best with high engine speed (blades

rotate quickly) and low gear (machine goes slowly). If the

grass is too long and thick the drive speed can be in- creased by selecting a higher gear or reducing the

motor speed, without affecting the cutting result. The best lawn is achieved if the grass is cut often. Cutting

becomes more even and the cut grass is more evenly distributed over the surface. Total time taken is not

greater, since higher drive speed can be selected without affecting the cutting results. Avoid cutting wet grass. The cutting results will be worse

since the wheels will sink into the soft lawn. Spray the cutting unit with water underneath after use.

Page 27

WARNING!

Do notddve in terrain at an angle of more than max. 10°, The risk for spark-over backwards is large.

In steep terrain the dsk for tipping is considerable. Avoid stopping and starting in sloping terrain.

Only change gear when the machine is standing still to

avoid damaging the gear box.

]

i '#

(_ Ddve in right turns so that the cut grass is thrown away from

flower beds and paths, etc. For larger lawns the drive direction

should be changed after 2-3 turns so that the cut grass is thrown towards the area that has already been cut as shown

in the illustration.

Page 28

_Use the teft side of the machine to cut close to trees, bushes

and paths, etc. The blade cuts about 15 mm inside the edge

ofthe cover.
