Safety Start Interlock System

Themoweris equippedwith a safetystart interlocksystem consisting of the brake switches, seat switch, and deck clutch switch. Check mower safety start interlock system daily, prior to operation. This system is an important mower safety feature. It should be repaired immediately if itmalfunctions. The machineincorporates aseparate seat switch which will stop the mower engine when the operator is unseated for any reason while the mower is moving or the deck clutch is engaged. This is a safety feature designed to prevent runaway or accidental entanglement. To inspect the system:

1. The operator must be on the seat when testing the seat switch.

2. Set both control levers in the park brake position.

3. Start the engine and allow it to warm up to operating temperature.

4. With the deck clutch switch down and the control leversinthe park brakeposition, slowly raise off of the seat. The engine should continue to run.

5. With the deck clutch switch up and/or the control leversin the neutral position, slowly raise off of the seat. The engine should stop within two seconds.

6. If the engine failsto stop when the deck clutch switch is up or one or both of the control leversis in and the operator is off the seat, check the function of the seat switch.If the seat switch is not operating properly and if the cause can not be determined, replace the seat switch.

Ifthe problem can not be located, contact your LandPride Dealer.

WARNING!

The safety interlock system should always function per steps 4 and 5. If it does not function properly, it should be corrected immediately. Do not operate the mower without a properly functioning seat safety switch.

WARNING!

The safety interlock system must not be disconnected or bypassed.

NOTE: The operator’s seat is equipped with a separate safety switch. If for any reason the operator should become unseated when the neutral switches are disengaged or the deck clutch switchis engaged the engine will stop.

Engine Starting

The Accu Z safety start interlock system is also designed to protect the operator and others from accidental injury due to unintentional engine starting. The engine starting motor will not engage until:

A. Control levers are in the brake position. B. Deck clutch switch is in the down (OFF) position. Thefollowing steps are thecorrect procedures for starting

the engine. If difficulty is encountered, contact the Land Pride Dealer in your area.

1. Before starting mower each day, perform daily preoperation checking.

2. Make sure the control leversare in the brake position and deck clutch switch is disengaged.

3. Set throttle at approximately 1/2 open position.

NOTE: Use choke position when engine is cold, or if warm engine fails to start within 5 seconds of cranking. Avoid ﬂooding and operate engine without choking as soon as possible.

4. Insert keyin ignition switch and rotate full clockwiseto engage starting motor. Release keywhen engine starts.

IMPORTANT:The engine starter should not be operatedfor periods longerthen 30 seconds ata time. An interval of at least two minutes should be allowed between such cranking periods to protect the starter from overheating and burn-out.

5. Performtestto make sure safetystart interlocksystem is operating properly. Refer to Safety start interlock system section.

6. As soon as engine begins to run, check to make certain the oil warning light is off. If not, stop engine immediately and check for the cause.

7. Allow the engine to idle a few minutes before advancing the throttle and/or engaging the deck clutch.

8. Beforestopping the engine, place the controlleversin the brake position, disengage the deck clutch, and throttle back to low idle for a couple of minutes; then rotate ignition key counter-clockwise to the OFF position. Remove the key from switch before leaving the seat.

WARNING!

Never leave the machine unattended with key in ignition switch.

Moving Mower with Stalled Engine

If it becomes necessary to move the mower when the engine is inoperative, the hydraulic pumps are equipped with bypass valves. Before moving the unit, turn bypass valves counter clockwise one-half to one revolution. The valve stems on each hydraulic pump are located near the top and are identified as a hex stud. Refer to Figure 2-8.

Section 2 Operation

Driving the Mower

DANGER!

Never make sudden stops or reverse direction, especially when going down a slope. The steering is designed for sensitive response. Rapid movement of the control levers in either directioncould result in a reaction of the mower that can cause serious injury.

Steering

Refer to Figure 2-9:

After starting engine, engage the control levers and steer as follows:

To Go Forward: Push control levers forward an equal distance. To Go in Reverse: Pull control levers rearward an equal distance. To Turn Left: Move the right control lever farther forward from neutral

than the left control lever. To Turn Right: Move the left control lever farther forward from neutral

than the right control lever. To Pivot Turn: Moveone control lever forwardand the other control lever

back of neutral, this will allow the drive wheels to counterrotate.

To Stop or Decrease Speed

WARNING!

In the event of a system failure while mowing, engage both parking brakes to stop or slow mower. Refer to Figure 2-4.

Move control levers to neutral. When going forward pull backgently on controllevers. When goingin reverse push forward gently on control levers.

DANGER!

When going in reverse push forward gently on control levers and avoid sudden movement. Any sudden movement could cause the front of the mower to come off of the ground resulting in possible loss of control.

To Increase Speed

Increase control levers equal distance from neutral. The farther forward control levers are from neutral, the faster mower will travel forward. The farther back control levers are from neutral, the faster mower will go in reverse.

Operating Suggestions

DANGER!

Priorto operating the mower the operator should be thoroughly familiar with the proper use and operation of the equipment, should read the manual completely and thoroughly, and should haveattemptedslow moving maneuvers to become familiarwith the operation of the equipment before attempting normal speed operation.Aninexperiencedoperatorshould not mowon slopes or on uneven terrain.

WARNING!

The mower’s control levers are very responsive: Easy does it! For smooth operation, move lever slowly, avoid sudden movement. Skill and ease of operation come with practice and experience.

Inexperienced operators may have a tendency to over-steer and lose control. Slow-moving practice maneuvers are recommended to become familiar with these characteristics before attempting normal speed operation.

WARNING!

Sharpdepressionsor raised obstacles (suchas gutters or curbs) should not be directly approached at high speed in an attempt to jump them as the operator could be thrown from the equipment.Approachata slow speed and angle one drive wheel at the obstruction. Continue at an angle until the wheel clears and then pivot the opposite wheel around.

When turning on soft wet turf, keep both wheels rolling either forward or backward. Pivoting on one stopped wheel can damage turf. This is especially important when mowing.

Peakmowingperformance ismaintainedwhen thethrottle is set at full rpm. This gives maximum power to the drive wheels and deck when needed. Use the control levers to control ground speed rather than engine rpm.

WARNING!

Do not operate the equipment while wearing sandals, tennis shoes, sneakers, shorts or any type of loose ﬁtting clothing. Always wear long pants, safety glasses and safety shoes when operating this machine.

Keep blades sharp. Many professional mowing companies have additional sets of blades and change blades twice a day: once in the morning and again at noon. Many problems with incorrect cutting patterns are due to dull blades or blades which have been sharpened incorrectly. Information on sharpening blades is listed in this manual’s maintenance section. In addition, most communities have individuals or companies which specialize in sharpening mower blades. Blade sharpness should be checked daily.

Section 2 Operation

Land Pride

Use high blade speed. Your Accu Z is designed to

operate at full throttle. The throttle setting directly controls bladespeed. The highest blade speed generally gives the best cut.

Direct grass discharge to right, away from unmown area.Selecta mowing patternthat directs grassdischarge

towards the outside, not towards center, of mowing area. Generally, this means using a pattern utilizing left turns becauseside discharge is to right. Refer toFigure 2-10. In any case, avoid throwing grass discharge onto unmowed area because grass is then mowed twice. Mowing twice putsan unnecessary loadon theunit andreduces mowing efficiency.

Mower Deck Operation

DANGER!

Neverattempt to makeany adjustments to the mower deck while the engine is running or with the blade engagement switch engaged. Mower blades cannot be seen and are located very close to deck housing. Fingers and toes can be cut off instantly.

With the engine running, engage the blade engagement switch (Refer to Figure 2-11) and advance engine throttle to full rpm.

NOTE: Engaging the blade engagement switch at high engine rpm or when under heavy load (in tall grassforexample)can cause beltsto slip,resulting in premature wear or possible damage.

Section 2 Operation

Operating Instructions

After thoroughly familiarizing yourself with the Operator’s Manual and completing the Operator’s Checklist, you are almost ready to begin mowing.

Approach the mower from the front and make sure the steering levers are spread fully apart in parking brake position. Stand just to the outside rear of the left front anti-scalp wheel and grab the left side steering lever for support. Taking care not to step on the mower deck, step up onto the operator’s platform and comfortably seat yourself. With both steering levers still wide apart, reach for the throttle and choke control to your right side.

Position the throttle control at half throttle and pull the choke to the “up/on” position. Insert your ignition key and rotate the ignition key clockwise until you hear the engine beginto start. Releasethe ignitionkey andpushthe choke to “down/off” position. Allow the engine to warm up momentarily. If your mower has just been running and the engine is already warm, using the choke is usually not necessary.

With the engine at half throttle, reach forward and bring both steering levers equally together in the neutral position just in front of you. It’s now time to test your steering skills. Gently push both steering levers equally forward. The farther forward you push the levers, the faster you will go. Pull back equally and you will slow down, coming to a stop when you reach the neutral position.Now slowlypull thelevers backtoward yourbody pastneutralposition. Themower willreversedirection and increase in speed as you pull further back.

If you push one lever forward and pull one lever back the mower will do a zero turn in the direction of the steering lever closest to your body. Now take a few moments in a safe area to practice maneuvering and steering your mower with the engine still at half throttle. Gradually increase your throttle speed until you feel totally confident of your mower steering and handling ability around obstacles and in tight areas.

It’s now time to cut the grass. You should have already removedany obstaclesfrom the lawn that youdo notwant run over. With your mower at half throttle, place your right foot on the deck lift pedal and release and lower the deck to your preset cutting height. With your right hand, pull up on the cutting blade engagement knob and increase the engine speed to full throttle. You may now begin mowing.

When you are done mowing or just want to take a break, make sure you do all of the following. Park on level ground, disengage the cutting blade, throttle back, leave the steering levers in wide-open parking brake position, turn the engine off, remove the key, and step carefully off the left front corner of the operator’s platform.

If your mower is equipped with the Accu-Vac Collection System and you need to empty the clipping containers, it is not necessary to shut the engine off. You must, however, disengage the cutting blade and spread the steering levers into parking brake position before you dismountor the unitwill shutoff automaticallywhen you lift off of the seat. Simply reverse this process when you are ready to continue mowing.

Control Lever Stops

Thecontrollever stops(Figure3-3) aredesigned to dotwo things: First, and most important, they must keep the pumps from bottoming out internally. Second, the stops may be adjusted to help drive straight when the control levers are pushed forward against the stops.

To keep the pumps from bottoming out internally use the following procedure:

1. To make the ﬁrst adjustment the mower engine must NOT be running.

2. Check to make sure the control levers are against the stopsbeforethepumpsare bottomedoutinternally.To do this, gently and slowly move the control levers forward and feel if there is some resistance on the pump lever before the control levers hit the stops. Check one side at a time. If you sense that the pump

Land Pride

arms are stopping the forward motion of the control arms, loosen the jam nut on the adjustable stop of the corresponding side and turn the stop (set screw) inward to stop the control levers slightly before the pumpbottoms out.Lock inplace whenthe adjustment is correct by re-tightening the jam nut.

3. Do this for each side. To adjust the stops for driving straight when control levers

are against the stops during operation: Determine which drive tire is rotating too fast when both

control levers are against the stops. Then stop the mower and loosen the lock nut on the side which is rotating too fastand turnthe stop (set screw) inwardto stopthe control lever sooner. Tighten the lock nut on the stop and test again. Repeat this procedure until unit drives straight.

NOTE: Since this is a hydrostatic drive, variables such as temperature of oil, efﬁciency of pumps and motors,tire pressure etc., may effectthe consistency of the ability to rely on the stops to drive straight without the operator making minor steering adjustments with the control arms.

Reverse Spring Adjustment

Refer to Figure 3-4:

The reverse spring is designed to bring the control levers to the neutral position after they are released from the reverse position.

To adjust:

1. Make certain the control leverneutral adjustment is correct. If not, refer to Steering Linkage section.

2. Whencontrol leverisin thereverseposition the spring should force the control lever to return to neutral after the lever is released.

3. Adjustthe top nylocknuton thespring linkageuntil the control lever returns to the neutral position from the reverseposition properly. Tightening the nylock nut will cause the control lever to travel forward less before stopping. Loosening the nylock nut will allow the control leverto travelfarther forward.

4. Check the length of the reversespring when the control leveris in the neutral position. This dimension shouldbe 1 7/8”. If itis not, adjust the lowernylocknut until the dimension is achieved.

5. Repeat for other side.

Anti-Scalp Rollers

Anti-scalp rollers are standard on the Accu Z. These antiscalp rollers are designed to minimize scalping when mowing on rough uneven terrain.

After setting the cutting height, adjust the front anti-scalp rollers so they extend below the deck but do not contact the ground. They should always be at least 1/4” to 3/4” below the deck. With the unit sitting on a flat level surface, the front wheel position can be adjusted up or down as needed from 3/4” to 1 3/4” below the blade surface. Move the front wheels up or down, in 1/2” increments, using the different axle mount holes in the roller mount bracket. See Figure Figure 3-22.

Anti-Scalp Rollers

Whenadjustingthe rearanti-scalprollers, the rollershould be in the lower axle mount hole when the front anti-scalp rollers are in the lower or middle axle mount holes. When the front rollers are in the upper axle mount hole, the rear rollers should be in the upper axle mount hole as well.

NOTE: When the anti-scalp rollers are installed, the minimum cutting height is 1” with the anti-scalp rollers set at 3/4”.

WARNING!

Keepyour machine clean and remove any deposits of trash and clippings, which can cause engine ﬁres and hydraulic overheating as well as excessive belt wear.

Maintenance

WARNING!

Unless speciﬁcally required, DO NOT have engine running when servicing or making adjustments to mower. Place control levers in the neutral position, disengage deck clutch, and remove ignition switch key. Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is available when engine must be operated in an enclosed area. Read and observe safety warnings in front of manual.

Before working on or under the deck, make certain engine cannot be accidentally started. Shut engine off and remove ignitionswitchkeyfor maximum safety.Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only.

Exercise caution when working under the deck as the mower blades are extremely sharp. Wearing gloves is advisable when working around or with the blades.

DANGER!

Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the engine and hydraulic reservoir area; minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.

Daily inspect mower for grass clippings and wire and string tangles. The underside of the mower deck will collect a build-up of grass clippings and dirt, especially when grass is wet or has high moisture content. This build-up will harden, restricting blade and air movement and will probably show a poorer quality of cutting. Therefore it should be removed routinely.

To do this it will be necessary to raise and block the deck in the full up position and scrape the build-up from underneath.

Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Consult your Land Pride dealer when assistance is needed.

Torque Values

WARNING!

Particular attention must be given to tightening the drive wheel lug nuts, wheel motor nuts, and blade spindle nuts. Failure to correctly torque these items may result in the loss of a wheel or blade, which can cause serious damage or personal injury.

WARNING!

Exceptwhen changing orcheckingbelt, always keepbelt covers on mower for safety as well as cleanliness.

WARNING!

When possible, clean under mower using a stick or similar instrumentmaking sure that no partof the body,especially arms and hands are under mower.

Regular maintenance is the best prevention for costly downtime or expensive, premature repair. The following pages contain suggested maintenance information and schedules which the operator should follow on a routine basis.

WARNING!

Avoid skin contact with battery acid. Always wear eye protection when checking the battery, acid can cause serious injury to skin and eyes. If contact occurs, ﬂush area with clean water and call physician immediately. Acid will also damage clothing. Do not allow open ﬂame near the battery when charging. Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is both toxic and ﬂammable and may cause an explosion if exposed to ﬂame. Always remove the negative ground ﬁrst and replaceit last. Do not overﬁll battery. Electrolytemay overﬂow and damage paint, wiring or structure. When cleaning the battery, use soap and water. Be careful not to get soap and water into the battery. Use soda mixed in water to clean corrosion off the terminals.

Common circuit failures are usually caused by shorting, corroded or dirty terminals, loose connections, defective wire insulation or broken wires. Switches, solenoids and ignition components may also fail, causing a shorted or open circuit.

Before attempting any failure diagnosis of the electrical system, use a test light or voltmeter to check the battery voltage. If the battery voltage is satisfactory, check the

Figure 4-9

Land Pride

Many engine failures can be attributed to improper air cleaner servicing. Ingested dust and dirt will cause cylinder, piston and bearing damage in a few hours. Dusted engines will result from:

1. Over servicing the air ﬁlter element.

2. Improper installation of an air ﬁlter element.

3. Damaged ﬁlter, seals or canister.

4. Incorrect air ﬁlter element size and/or use of poorly designed aftermarket air ﬁlter elements.

Air cleaner servicing is an inexpensive maintenance check that can prevent costly non-warrantable premature engine damage.

Over Servicing

Over servicing occurs when an air filter element is removed for cleaning or replacement before it is necessary.Each time the filteris removed a small amount of dirt and dust could fall in the intake system. This accumulated dirt can cause a dusted engine. It only takes a few grams of ingested dirt over the normal service life of an engine to cause a dusted engine.

Do not clean element, replace with a new element only. Cleaning used air filter elements, through improper

cleaningprocedures, canget duston theinside ofthe filter causing dirt ingestion and engine failure.

It is important to note that whenever an air filter element is cleaned by any method, the person or company performing the cleaning assumes responsibility for the integrity of the filter from then on. The Donaldson

warranty for air filters expires upon cleaning or servicing in any manner because the condition of the filter after servicing is completely out of their control. Therefore,on a dust ingested engine failure, therewill be no warranty consideration if the air filter element has been cleaned or serviced in any manner.

A partially dirty air filter element works better than a new element. Therefore, a dirty filter element is not bad for the engine unless it is excessively restricting the air flow and engineperformanceis affected.The reasonissimple. The media in the filter must be porous to allow air to pass through it. When dirty air passes through the filter, the dirt plugs some of the holes in the media and actually acts as part of the filter media. When the next round of dirt enters, the first dirt helps filter out even smaller particles making the filter more efficient at stopping dirt from entering the engine. This is referred to as barrier filtration.

Of course, at some point the filter media becomes too clogged to allow air to pass.

The mowing conditions will determine the frequency of air filter element changing.

Improper Installation

Dust must not leak past the seals on each end of the air filterelement. Thefilter mustbe alignedwithin thecanister andproperly seatedfor an effectiveseal sothat nodirt can enter the engine.

Z52®, Z60® & Z72® Zero Turning Radius Mowers Accu-Z 356-005M 03/11/03

Page 39

Land Pride

Section 4 Maintenance and Lubrication

Damaged Filter, Seals or Canister

Never bang or bump the filter element against the tire or any solid object, as dust and dirt particles will be forced through the media causing continual passing of dirt into the engine. Visually inspect the outside of the air cleaner canister periodically for external damage and replace if necessary.

Incorrect Air Filter Element

Use only the correct Donaldson air filter element, Land Pride part number 839-312C, which is designed to fit the canister properly. Land Pride air filter elements have the correct media composition, filter area, micron size and dimensions. Always use genuine Land Pride filters. Many aftermarket filters have been found to be incompatible with Land Pride’s canisters and engines.

The air filter must remain intact to block passage of dirt and foreign particles from entering the engine. Being inclinedto disbelieve the need formore expensive air filter elements used on gasoline engines may cause some individuals to opt for a less expensive part.

The filter element must be sufficient size and construction to withstand stresses, caused by rapid cycling of the air volume demanded by the engine, without cracking or tearing under fatigue and pressure (especially diesel engines). Therefore, Land Pride and the engine manufacturers have carefully selected a reliable filter designed to fit the needs of the engines. The filter specified is a Donaldson filter, Land Pride part number 839-312C.

Owners should be reminded that failure to use original equipment replacement parts is an alteration and will not beconsidered for warrantyin theevent ofengine damage.

Engine Air Filter Service Procedure

1. Release clamps and remove element. Clean the

canister with a damp cloth.

2. Beforeinstallinga newelement, inspect it byplacing a

bright light inside and rotate the element slowly, looking forany holes or tears in the paper. Also check gaskets for cuts or tears. Do not attempt to use a damaged element which will allow abrasive particles to enter the engine.

3. Reinstall the dust cup. Make sure it seals all the way

around the air cleaner body, then tighten the clamps.

4. Checkall ﬁttings and clamps periodically for tightness

and inspect hoses for holes or cracks.

5. Periodically check the intake hose for signs of

ingested dust. Locate and repair the source of ingested dirt.

6. Neveroperate a machine without an air ﬁlter installed.

General Engine Maintenance

Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in and regular maintenance are specified in the Engine Operator’s manual. Please refer to this manual for engine servicing, lubricating oil levels with quality and viscosity recommendations, bolt torques, etc. The engine warranty is backed by the engine manufacturer. Special attention should be paid to applicable data which will not be duplicated here.

Belt Replacement

Refer to Figure 4-10 and Figure 4-11:

Replace belts which show signs of severe cuts, tears, excessive weather checking and cracking or burns caused by slipping. Slight raveling of belt covering does not indicate failure, trim ravelings with a sharp knife.

Inspect the belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new belt, or one in good condition, should never run againstthe bottomof thegroove. Replacethe pulleywhen this is the case, otherwise belt will lose power and slip excessively.

Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut or damage the fibers of the belt covering.

Keep oil and grease away from belts, and never use belt dressings.Any of thesewill destroythe beltcomposition in a very short time.

Mower Blade Maintenance

Lift Jack Option

Foreasier blade maintenance alift jack can bepurchased fromyour LandPride Dealerand easilyassembled toyour mower. Refer to Figure 4-12.

Land Pride

DANGER!

Never work with blades while engine is running or deck clutch is engaged. Always place deck clutch in the disengaged position, place control levers in park position and turn engine off. Block up mower when you must work under it. Do not use jack as blocks. Jack is for lifting only. Separate blocks must be used prior to servicing under mower. Wear gloves when handling blades. Always check for blade damage if mower strikes rock, branch or other foreign object during mowing!

Mower Blade Remov al

Use a 3/4" wrench to remove the 1/2" cap screw holding blade to spindle saddle from underneath.

Sharpen the blades on a grinder following pattern as shown in Figure 4-13. Touch-up sharpening can be done with a file.

19912

Check the mower blades daily, they are the key to power efficiency and well groomed turf. Keep them sharp, a dull blade will tear rather than cut the grass, leaving a brown ragged top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade also requires more power from the engine.

Replace any blade which is bent, cracked or broken. Never attempt to straighten a bent blade by heating, or

weld a cracked or broken blade as the blade may break and cause serious injury.

When storing the unit at the end of the mowing season, the following steps should be taken to ensure readiness for the next mowing season.

1. Removeall grass, dirt, and trash.Clean and touch up all scrapes with Land Pride spray paint.

2. Cleanpaper air ﬁlter.Replace if necessary. Washand re-oil foam pre-cleaner.

3. Checkthoroughly for any worn or damaged parts that need replacing and order them from your dealer.

4. Thoroughly lubricate machine, according to lubrication instructions.

5. Checkhydraulicoil level.Addoil if necessary. Change oil and ﬁlter if not done in last 500 hours. Lubrizol additive is required. Refer to Maintenance section.

6. Block mower up so weight is off tires.

NOTE: Do not deﬂate tires.

7. Protect battery from freezing temperatures. Occasionally recharging battery during storage will extend battery life.

8. Perform separate engine preparation as listed below.

9. Store mower in a clean, dry place.

Preparation of Engine for Storage

When engine is to be unused for long periods, proceed as follows:

1. Run engine for a minimum of 15 minutes.

2. Drain oil from crankcase while engine is still warm.

3. Reﬁll with fresh oil of proper viscosity.

4. Drain fuel tank and run the engine until it stops from lackoffuel. Gasoline evaporatesif leftin carburetorfor long periods, forming gum and varnish deposits in carburetor. These deposits will cause engine ﬂooding and loss of power.

5. Remove and replace fuel ﬁlter if not done in previous 100 hours.

6. Removespark plugs and pour a tablespoon of engine oil into each spark plug hole. Install plugs, but do not reconnect plug leads.

7. Crank engine with starter at least a dozenrevolutions to distribute oil over cylinder walls and valve mechanism.

8. Clean exterior surfaceof engine. Spread a light ﬁlm of oiloverany exposedmetal surfacesof enginethat are subject to corrosion.

9. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinders and ﬁns, blower housing and mufﬂer.

10. Check oil ﬁller cap and fuel tank cap to make certain they are securely in place.

New Season Preparation

Before starting the mower following post season storage, the following servicing is required:

1. Clean mower, removing trash and dirt accumulation.

2. Check engine oil and hydraulic oil levels.

3. Fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline. Run machine at half speed for 5 minutes, checking operation of steering control levers. Stop engine and check for oil leaks, loose ﬁttings and so forth.

4. Tighten any bolts that have loosened and make sure all hair pins, cotter pins and clevis pins are in place.

5. Install all safety shields and review safetyprecautions listed in this manual.

6. Check and inﬂate tires to 8-12 psi.

7. Reconnect spark plug leads to spark plug.
