2.1 OPERATING SAFETY _____________ ___ __ __ ___ _________________________ ___ __ _
1. Safety is dependent upon the awareness, concern
and prudence of those who operate or service the
equipment. Never allow minors to operate any
equipment.
2. It is your responsibility to read this manual and all
publications associated with this equipment (Parts
and Maintenance Manual, Engine Manual,
accessories and attachments). If the operator can
not read English it is the owner’s responsibility to
explain the material contained in this manual to
them.
3. Learn the proper use of the machine, the location
and purpose of all the controls and gauges before
you operate the equipm ent. Working with unfamiliar
equipment can lead to accidents.
4. Never allow anyone to operate or service the
machine or its attachments without proper training
and instructions; or while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
5. Wear all the necessary protective clothing and
personal safety devi ces to protect your head, eyes,
ears, hands and feet. Operate the machine only in
daylight or in good artificial light.
6. Inspect the area where the eq uipment will be used.
Locate and remove all debris in the operating area
before using equipment. Beware of overhead
obstructions (low tree limbs, electrical wires, etc.)
and also underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes,
tree roots, etc.) Enter a new area cautiously. Stay
alert for hidden hazards.
7. Never direct discharge of material toward
bystanders, nor allow anyone near the machine
while in operation. The owner/operator can prevent
and is responsible for injuries inflicted to
themselves, to bystanders and damage to property.
8. Never operate equipment that has been modified,
does not meet factory specifications, or is without
decals, guards, shields, discharge deflectors or
other protective devices securely fastened in place.
9. Never disconnect or bypass any switch or interlock.
10. Carbon monoxide in t he exhaust fumes c an be fatal
when inhaled. Never operate the engine without
proper ventilation.
11. Fuel is highly flammable, handle with care.
12. Keep the engine clean. Allow the engine to cool
before storing and always remove the ignition key.
13. Disengage all drives and engage parking brake
before starting the engine (motor). Start the engine

4.3 OPERATOR ALERTS_______________________________________________________
The machine monitors vital machine systems. It uses an
audible alarm and warning lights to alert the operator of
conditions requiring immediate action. When an alert
occurs, follow the general guidelines listed in the chart
below, and any specific actions outlined by the grounds
superintendent or service manager.
To test alarm system:
Turn ignition switch to RUN. Engine oil light will come on for
one second or more.
This system monitors:
1. Engine oil pressure
2. Engine coolant temperature
3. Hydraulic oil level
Alert Action
1. Engine Oil Pressure - Oil pressure
light comes on. Oil pressure low.
Stop tractor immediately, lower implements and shut off engine! Inspect oil
level in engine. If oil light remains on with oil at proper level, shut off engine and
tow or trailer tractor back to a service area. NEVER operate engine with oil light
on, severe damage to the engine can occur.
2. Engine Coolant Temperature
Alarm sounds. Engine coolant
temperature high.
Stop tractor immediately, lower implements and shu t off engine! Remove
debris such as leaves and grass clippings that may be restricting air flow through
front screen and area between radiator and oil cooler. If engine continues to run
hot, return tractor to a service area.
CAUTION: Engine coolant is under pressure. Turn engine off and allow
fluid to cool before checking fluid level or adding coolant to radiator.
3. Hydraulic fluid level - alarm
sounds and hydraulic fluid
warning light comes on.
Hydraulic fluid is below
recommended level.
Stop tractor immediately, lower implements and shut off engine! Visually
inspect tractor for obvious signs of leaks around connections, hoses and
hydraulic components. Return tractor to service area for maintenance.

5.1 DAILY INSPECTION______________________ ___ __ __________________________ __ _
1. Perform a visual i nspec tio n o f the entire unit, loo k for
signs of wear, loose hardware, and missing or
damaged components. Chec k for fuel or oil leaks to
ensure connections are tight and hoses and tubes
are in good condition.
2. Check the fuel supply, radiator coolant level,
crankcase oil and air cleaner indicator. All fluids
must be at the full level mark with engine cold.
3. Make sure all mowers are adjusted to the same
cutting height.
4. Check tires for proper inflation.
5. Test the Interlock System.
Note: For more detailed maintenance information,
adjustments and maintenance/lube charts, see the
Parts & Maintenance manual.
5.2 Interlock System_________________________________________________________________________
1. The Interlock System prevents the engine from
starting unless the parking brake is engaged, the
traction pedal is in neutral and the reel switch is OFF.
The system also stops the engine if the operator
leaves the seat with the reel switch ON, traction
pedal out of NEUTRAL, or parking brake
DISENGAGED.
2. Perform each of the following tests to insure the
Interlock System is functioning properly. Stop the
test and have the s ystem inspected and repaired if
any of the tests fail as listed below:
● the engine does not start in test 1;
● the engine does start during tests 2,3 or 4;
● the engine continues to run during tests 5 or 6.
3. Refer to the cha rt below for each t est and f ollow the
check (✔) marks across the chart. Shut engine off
between each test.
Test 1: Represents normal starting procedure. The
operator is seated, parking brake is engaged, the
traction pedal is in neutral, and the reel switch is
OFF. The engine should start.
Test 2: The engine must not start if the reel switch is
ON.
Test 3: The engine must not start if the parking brake
is DISENGAGED.
Test 4: The engine must not start if traction p edal is
not in neutral.
Test 5: Start the engine in the normal ma nner then
turn reel switch ON and lift your weight off the seat. ★
Test 6: Start the engine in the normal ma nner then
disengage parking brake an d lift your weight off the
seat. ★
★ Lift your weight off seat. The engine will shut down.
CAUTION
The daily inspection should be performed only when
the engine is off and all fluids are cold. Lower mowers
to the ground, engage the parking brake, Stop engine
and remove ignition key.
