Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, DO NOT mow it.

EN - 8

DO NOT operate on slopes of more t han 15°.

Mow up and down slopes, not across. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other

hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

DO NOT mow on moist or wet grass. Tires may lose traction causing a loss of control.

Use extra care while operating machine with grass catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of the machine. DO NOT use on steep slopes.

Keep all movements on the slope slow and gradual. DO NOT make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.

Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

Operation on slopes may lead to loss of steering control. When operating on slopes be prepared to react to an emergency situation:

• Return steering levers to neutral position.

• Immediately set parking brake.

• Turn off PTO and engine.

DO NOT try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

DO NOT park on slopes unless necessary. When parking on slope, ALWAYS chock or block wheels. ALWAYS set parking brake.

DO NOT operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Unit can suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

DO NOT bypass transmission or allow transmission to free-wheel when on a slope.

Fuel

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

Ethanol blends must not exceed E10. Higher ethanol content may cause your machine to run hotter and damage your engine.

Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilled fuel before starting engine.

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

Use only an approved gasoline container. NEVER store the machine or fuel container

where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on a water or space heater or other appliances.

NEVER fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. ALWAYS place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

NEVER fuel the machine indoors. NEVER remove gas cap or add fuel with the

engine running. Allow engine to cool before fueling.

Fuel is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive. Handle with care. Use only an approved gasoline container with an appropriately sized dispensing spout.

NO smoking, NO sparks, NO flames. Remove gas-powered equipment from the

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until the fueling is complete. DO NOT use a nozzle lock-open device.

NEVER overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely.

If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.

Towing/Transporting

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.

NEVER allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. DO NOT attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.

On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of control.

Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

EN - 9

Accessories

Use only Ariens Company-recommended attachments or accessories that are designed for your unit and that are appropriate to your use and can be used safely in your application.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for wheel weights or counterweights

Check grass catcher components and the discharge guard frequently and replace with the manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.

Batteries

Avoid Electric Shock. Objects contacting both battery terminals at the same time may result in injury and unit damage. DO NOT reverse battery connections.

Reverse connections may result in sparks which can cause serious injury. ALWAYS connect positive (+) lead of charger to positive (+) terminal, and negative (-) lead to negative (-) terminal.

ALWAYS disconnect negative (-) cable FIRST and positive (+) cable SECOND. ALWAYS connect positive (+) cable FIRST, and negative (-) cable SECOND.

Explosive Gases from battery can cause death or serious injury. Poisonous battery fluid contains sulfuric acid and its contact with skin, eyes or clothing can cause severe chemical burns.

No flames, No sparks, No smoking near battery.

ALWAYS wear safety glasses and protective gear near battery. Use insulated tools.

ALWAYS keep batteries out of reach of children.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Rollover Protection System (ROPS)

Frequently inspect ROPS and seat belt for damage or loose hardware.

Use extreme care when working close to fences, ditches, or on hills.

Check overhead clearance carefully before driving under any objects.

ALWAYS wear seat belt while operating the unit with the ROPS in the upright position.

Only lower ROPS for transport.

DO NOT wear a seat belt while operating the unit with the center bar in the lowered position.

DO NOT weld, cut, drill or modify ROPS in any manner unless instructed by the manufacturer.

Service

The use of non-genuine replacement parts or accessories could adversely affect machine operation and safety.

Do not change engine governor setting or overspeed the engine.

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

Keep unit free of debris. Clean up oil or fuel spills.

Do not change engine governor setting or overspeed the engine.

ALWAYS block wheels and know all jack stands are strong and secure and will hold weight of unit during maintenance.
