3.11. Never operate the front mower in terrain where
there are ditches, holes, or steps easy to
collapse. In such a place, the front mower could
turn over or fall.
3.12. Before making access to moving parts, stop the
engine, and keep your hands, feet, clothing,
accessories and etc. away so as not to be caught
in the moving parts of the front mower.
3.13. Be alert when you approach blind corners and
objects that may obscure your vision. Watch
for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
3.14. Never rest a foot on the brake pedal. If so, the
brakes disc wear rapidly, which may lead to
serious accidents.
3.15. Travelling set with the cruise lever should be
restricted only to operations in spacious, flat
areas with an unobstructed view and used with
the range shift lever always kept in the low speed
position. (SFH240F-B)
3.16. Never attempt to do the mowing operation without
the discharge cover in place or with the cover left
open.
3.17. Never attempt to operate without the drive shaft
cover in place.
3.18. Do not attempt to adjust the cutting height while
the engine is running.
3.19. Adjust the cutting height with the gauge wheels
in accordance with the condition of the ground
surface at the working site. Mowing on rough
ground with low cutting height may cause
the blades to hit soil or stones, which is very
dangerous.
3.20. If you strike an object or if the front mower
vibrates abnormally, stop the front mower
immediately, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and inspect the cutting unit (s). Make all repairs
before you resume operation.
3.21. Be sure to keep the grass discharging part
clean. A clogged discharging part may cause the

3.24. When driving over a levee or step, stop the
mower blades, lift up the mower deck, and move
the front mower straight to the levee and make it
climb over slowly. Avoid climbing over a levee too
high, or the front mower may fall sideways or turn
over.
3.25. Stop the cutting unit(s) when you are crossing
gravel areas
3.26. Watch for traffic when you are operating the
front mower near a roadway or when crossing a
roadway.
3.27. Never attempt to use the front mower to draw an
implement or a trailer. It is not designed to draw a
load.
3.28. Stay alert and stop the lawnmower if people or
pets enter the area.
3.29. Do not carry passengers
3.30. Never carry children, even when the cutting
means are not moving. Children may fall off
the front mower and become seriously injured
or prevent you from operating the front mower
safely. Children who have been given rides in the
past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for
another ride and be run over or backed over by
the lawnmower.
3.31. Before stopping the engine, be sure to lower the
mower deck onto the ground, apply the parking
brakes, shift the range shift lever in neutral and
turn the PTO switch to the OFF position.
3.32. Before leaving the operating position of the front
mower for any reason, always do the following:

4. OPERATION ON A SLOPE
DANGER : Slopes are a major factor related
to accidents with front mowers, resulting in
severe injuries.
We cannot recomended the front mower with mower
deck be oparated on a slope. All slopes require extra
caution; no slope is safe.
You can lose control of the front mower on a slope
because of one of the following:
- the wheels lack traction; you are driving the front
mower too fast.
- you are not braking properly; the front mower type is
not suited for the task.
- you are unaware of the ground conditions (especially
slopes).
- you incorrectly hitch an attachment or distribute a load
If the front mower has to be used on a slope, Never
use it on a slope of more than "10° ". Even if using it
on a slope of less than "10° ", be sure to abide by the
foiiowing instructions.
A slope angle of 10° is specified with the front mowers
equipped with the attachments mentioned respectively.
- The front mower is not equipped with any attachments
or a cabin.
- The front mower is equipped with a standard mower
deck.
Grass catchers and other attachments can change the
stability of the front mower. Follow the instructions for
adding weight to improve the stability of the front mower.
When your front mower is equipped with an implement
other than standard, such as a cabin, etc., never fail to
ask your dealer about machine balance. Always follow
their advice.
If a rollover protection system (ROPS) is available
for your front mower, we recommended that you use
a ROPS if you will operate the front mower on steep
slopes. A ROPS consists of both a rollover protection
device and a seat belt. Always wear the seat belt with
your ROPS; do not use the seat belt unless the rollover
protection device is also properly installed.
4.1. Be sure to wear a helmet during operation.
4.2. If you feel uneasy operating your front mower on
a slope, do not mow it.
4.3. Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories
and attachments you will need to be safe.
4.4. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments. You can tip the front mower over
if a wheel is over the edge of a drop-off or if an
edge caves in. Uneven terrain can cause the
lawnmower to overturn.

4.5. Never perform mowing operation on wet grass.
4.6. Be sure to shift the 4WD lever to the 4WD
position (SFH240).
4.7. Never use the cruise control during mowing
operation (SFH240F-B).
4.8. Avoid sudden starting and stopping.
4.9. Mow up and down a slope; do not mow across it.
4.10. Mow a slope by moving slowly. Do not suddenly
change your speed or direction.
4.11. Do not turn on a slope unless it is necessary, and
then, turn slowly downhill, if possible.
4.12. If the tyres lose traction, disengage the cutting
unit(s) and proceed slowly, straight down the
slope. Do not apply the brake on the front mower
that is sliding down a slope. Engage the clutch
slowly and always keep the front mower in gear,
especially when travelling downhill.
4.13. Do not use the grass catcher(s) while you are
mowing a steep slope.
4.14. Do not try to stabilize the front mower by putting
your foot on the ground.
4.15. Avoid stopping the front mower on a slope.
5. DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS
5.1. This front mower cannot be driven on a public
road without authorization by a local government
agency, etc. Therefore it may be illegal for the
front mower not only to travel on but also to cross
a public road.
5.2. When transporting the front mower on a public
road, load it on a truck or trailer.
CHAPTER 1. FOR SAFE OPERATION
13
6. LOADING ONTO OR UNLOADING FROM A
TRUCK
6.1. When loading the front mower onto a truck, turn
off the truck's engine, apply the parking brakes
to the truck, and chock the wheels to avoid
unexpected moving of the truck or trailer.
6.2. Pay sufficient attention to safety conditions
around the front mower and have it guided by
someone to assist the operator. Never allow other
persons to approach the front mower, especially
in front of or behind it.
6.3. When loading the front mower onto a truck, lift
up the mower deck fully and advance it straight
at sufficiently low speeds. Drive it rearward when
unloading it from the truck or trailer.
6.4. If the engine stalls unexpectedly on the ramps,
depress the brake pedals immediately and roll the
front mower to the ground by releasing the brakes
gradually. Then start the engine and try again.
