.
C. Related to Batteries
Batteries are stored electrical energy devices that may be ser­viceable with removable caps (the electrolyte levels can be checked), or may be non-serviceable (no attempt should be made to open the vents).
Batteries may contain lead (Pb) and sulfuric acid, and they must be re-cycled and not disposed of nor abandoned. Sulfu ric acid can cause severe burns, and in the event of contact, the areas should be flushed with water and a physician con tacted. Battery cases should not be punctured. Lead is poi­sonous and is contained within the positive and negative terminals as well as within the battery’s internal grid-work of plates and active materials.
Explosive gases are generated when batteries are re-charged, so sparks, flames and heat sources should be avoided. Loose connections at the battery terminals can produce sprks and heat...connections to the terminals must be kept tight, and the terminals and battery surfaces kept clean of acids and corro sion. If batteries are re-charged or “jumped” from external sources, make sure that the connections are made properly and in the correct sequence...connect to the positive terminal of the good battery first, then connect that to the positive ter minal of the weak battery. The third connection should be to the negative terminal of the good battery, followed by the negative terminal of the weak battery. If sparks are observed or heating of the wiring or connectors is detected, disconnect
-
in reverse order (I.E., the negative terminal of the weak bat tery first). Batteries should be re-charged at a constant volt­age...generally 14.5 +/- 0.5 volts DC for a nominal 12 volt DC battery.
D. When Mowing
1. Keep adults, children and pets away from the area to be mowed.
2. When operating this mower in the forward direction, do not allow the speed control pedals to rapidly return to Neutral. Always operate the pedals smoothly and avoid any sudden movements when starting or stopping.
3. If the mower is equipped for side discharge, never use the mower without the discharge chute installed and placed in the down position.
4. Always remove debris and other objects from the area to be mowed.( reduce traction.)
5. Mow only in daylight.
6. Watch for holes, sprinkler heads and other hidden hazards.
7. Avoid driving too close to trees, creeks, ditches, sand traps and other obstacles.
8. Before backing up, check behind you and watch where you’re going.
9. Always reduce speed when making a turn, and when grass is wet.
10. Always mow laterally or diagonally across slopes, never up and down the slope. Do not operate on steep (greater than 20 degrees, 36%) slopes and slow down before turning.
11. Be careful when crossing gravel paths or roadways. Always turn off the blade clutch switch and wait until the blades stop rotating and raise the cutting deck to the transport position. Always allow other vehicles to have the right-of-way.

12. If you hit a solid object while mowing, turn off the blade clutch switch, place the speed control pedal in the neutral position, move the throttle to slow, set the parking brake, shut off the engine and take the key from the ignition switch. Inspect for damage. Repair any damage. Make sure the blades are in good condi tion and that the blade bolts are tight before restarting the engine.
13. Never leave the mower unattended without: turning off the blade clutch switch; placing the speed control pedals in the neutral position; moving the throttle to slow; setting the parking brake; shutting off the engine and taking the key from the ignition switch.
14. Never walk or stand on the discharge side of a mower with the engine running. Turn off the blade clutch

switch if another person approaches while you are operating the mower.
15. Never attempt to operate the traction unit without the mowing deck attached.
16. Keep the mower and especially the engine and hydraulic components clean and free of grease, grass and leaves to reduce the chance of fire and to permit proper cooling.
4. Seat belts are attached to the movable portion of the seat, and therefore the seat-mounting the pivot means must be latched to the frame of the machine.
DANGER:
If ROPS and OPDs are folded down or missing, seat belts
shall not be fastened. Worn or damaged seat belt assem blies must be replaced prior to operator use.
-
E. Towing
1. Tow only with a machine that has an approved hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equip ment except at the hitch point.
2. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for weight limits 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.
Note: 5 degrees (9%) maximum slope.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
F. Operator Protection System -Foldable
1. This machine is equipped with an Operator Protec­tive System (OPS), which includes:
a. A Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or
Operator Protective Device (OPD) which may be of the fixed or folding configuration
b. Seat belt assembly with retractable function
2. ROPS and OPDs are structures designed to provide a crush-resistant space for the operator when prop erly seat-belted within the designated seating area of the machine in the event of a machine tip-over or roll-over. Folding ROPS and OPDs shall be used in their fully upright and locked configura tions except in those circumstances whereby they need to be momentarily folded-down to avoid con tact with items such as tree limbs, clothes lines, guy wires, buildings, etc. At other times and condi tions, ROPS and OPDs shall be in their fully upright and locked configurations.
DANGER:
Damaged ROPS and OPDs must be replaced prior to operator use!
3. Seat belts shall be used and shall be properly fas­tened about the operator’s waist at all times, except when the ROPS or OPDs are:
- not properly installed and/or not properly secured onto the machine
- damaged in such manner that their structural integrity has been compromised
- not in their fully upright and locked position
5. Brush Guards and canopies can afford additional protection for the operator. The Brush Guard can
-
-
-
-
-
deflect tree limbs, clothes lines, and other obstacles that otherwise could come in contact with the ROPS and OPDs. Contact of ROPS and OPDs by items such as tree limbs, clothes lines, guy wires, and buildings, could create hazardous conditions whereby the machine could experience a tip-over or roll-over. The canopy can provide protection for the operator from some environmental exposure (sunlight, rain, etc.). Work lights may be available.
6. The ROPS and seat belt are integral parts of this machine and should not be tampered with, modified in any manner, or removed.
7. The ROPS extends above and behind the operator position, and therefore the operator must be aware of potential contact of the ROPS with items such as trees, buildings, doorways, clothes lines, utility wires, etc., that could cause the machine to upset or
rollover....use caution in (or avoid) areas where the
ROPS could come in contact with any structures, trees, etc.
8. The ROPS and seat belt add additional mass that elevates the machine’s Center of Gravity (C.G.) which negatively affects the machine’s stability and
traction....use extra caution when operating on
slopes.
9. Inspect the ROPS and seat belt assemblies on a reg­ular basis for damage and improper opera-
tion....replace all components that are damaged or
are not functioning properly with authorized replacement parts.
10. Failure to use the seatbelt properly could result in serious injury or death if an accidental overturn occurs. In order for the ROPS to be effective, the seat belt must be securely fastened around the oper ator at all times when the operator is on the machine. Contact with the ROPS during an overturn could cause serious injury or death.
11. The ROPS will not prevent the machine from upsets or roll overs.
12. Only approved attachments should be used on this machine.

never use the mower without the discharge chute installed and placed in the down position.
d. Always remove debris and other objects from the
area to be mowed (Note: debris and loose grass
will reduce traction). e. Mow only in daylight. f. Watch for holes, sprinkler heads, and other hid-
den hazards. g. Avoid driving too close to trees, creeks, ditches,
sand traps, and other obstacles. h. Before backing up, check behind and watch
where you are going. i. Always reduce speed when making a turn, and
when grass is wet. j. Always mow laterally or diagonally across
slopes, never up and down the slope. Do not
operate on steep (greater than 20 degrees 36%)
slopes and slow down before turning. Avoid turn
ing downhill if possible, start at the bottom and
work up to the top. Use extra care and go slowly
when turning downhill. k. Be careful when crossing gravel paths or road-
ways. Always turn off the blade clutch switch
and wait until the blades stop rotating and raise
the cutting deck to the transport position. Always
allow other vehicles to have the right of way. l. If you hit a solid object while mowing, turn off
the blade clutch switch, place the speed control

pedals in the neutral position, move the throttle to slow, set the parking brake, shut off the engine, and take the key from the ignition switch. Inspect for damage. Repair the damage. Make sure the blades are in good condition and that the blade bolts are tight before restarting the engine.
m. Never leave the mower unattended without
observing the following: turn off the blade clutch switch, placing the speed control pedals in the neutral position, moving the throttle to slow, set ting the parking brake, shutting off the engine and taking the key from the ignition switch.
n. Never walk or stand on the discharge side of the
mower when the engine is running. Turn off the blade clutch switch if another person approaches while you are operating the mower.
o. Never attempt to operate the traction unit without
having the mowing deck attached.
p. Keep the mower and especially the engine and
hydraulic components clean and free of grease, grass, and leaves to reduce the chance of fire and permit proper cooling.
2. Safety Awareness when Mowing
a. Do not operate on steep slopes, those above 20
degrees (36% slope).
b. Avoid turning downhill if possible, if not use
extra care and go slowly.
c. Avoid turning when going downhill, traction is at
a minimum going downhill.
d. Do not operate with discharge side of the mower
toward streets, buildings, playgrounds, parking lots, other machines, animals, and other people.
e. Avoid operation or use extreme care if the trac-
tion surface is wet, unstable, or slippery.
f. Use extra care when grass clippings, leaves, pine
needles, or debris are present as traction can be reduced.
