Check Machine Safety System
Perform safety system check to make sure the electronic safety interlock circuit is functioning properly. Perform all six Tests. (See Testing Safety System in the Operating section.)
Checking Tire Pressure
cCAUTION: Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death:
- Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
- Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
-When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.
-Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.
1.Check tires for damage.
2.Check tire pressure with an accurate gauge.
3.Add or remove air, if necessary:

OPERATING MACHINE
Operate Safely
•In addition to reading your Operator’s Manual, view your Mowing Safety Video.
•Check brake action before you operate. Adjust or service brakes as necessary.
•Inspect machine before you operate. Be sure hardware is tight. Repair or replace damaged, badly worn, or missing parts. Be sure guards and shields are in good condition and fastened in place. Make any necessary adjustments before you operate.
•Clear work area of objects that might be thrown. Keep people and pets out of the work area. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
•If you hit an object, stop the machine and inspect it. Make repairs before you operate. Keep machine and attachments properly maintained and in good working order.
•DO NOT leave machine unattended when it is running.
•Only operate during daylight or with good artificial light.
•Be careful of traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
•Do not wear radio or music headphones while operating the machine. Safe operation requires your full attention.
Park Safely
•Stop machine on a level surface, not on a slope.
•Disengage mower blades.
•Lower attachments to the ground.
•Engage park brake.
•STOP engine.
•Remove key.
•Before you leave the operator’s seat, wait for engine and all moving parts to STOP.

OPERATING MACHINE
Rotating Blades are Dangerous - Protect Children and Prevent Accidents
PROTECT CHILDREN:
•Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Children are attracted to mowing activity, stay alert to the presence of children.
•Keep children in the house when you are operating the machine.
•Turn machine off if a child enters the mowing area.
•Use extra care when you come to blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your vision.
•DO NOT let children or an untrained person operate the machine.
•DO NOT carry or let children ride on machine or any attachment. DO NOT tow children in a cart or trailer.
HELP PREVENT SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENTS:
•Be alert at all times, drive forward carefully. People especially children can move quickly into the mowing area before you know it.
•Back carefully. Disengage mower blades and look behind the machine carefully, especially for children, before you back up.
•DO NOT mow in reverse unless it is absolutely necessary.
•Disengage mower blades when you are not mowing.
•DO NOT operate machine if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Operating Machine - Page 10
OPERATING MACHINE
Avoid Tipping
•DO NOT drive where machine could slip or tip.
•Stay alert for holes and other hidden hazards in the terrain.
•Keep away from drop-offs.
•Slow down before you make a sharp turn or operate on a slope.
•When pulling loads or using heavy equipment, use only approved hitches, limit loads to those you can safely control, and use counterweights or wheel weights when required per this manual or your attachment manual.
•Drive up and down a hill—not across. Be careful when you change direction on a slope.
•DO NOT stop when going up hill or down hill. If machine stops going up hill, DISENGAGE mower blades and back down slowly.
•DO NOT mow wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.
•DO NOT try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.
Keep Riders Off
•Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.
•Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck by foreign objects or thrown off the machine causing serious injury.
•Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.
Operating Machine - Page 11
OPERATING MACHINE
Wear Appropriate Clothing
• Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate for the job.
• Loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing, wear a suitable protective device such as earplugs.
Transport Safely
• Use safety lights and devices. Slow moving machines when driven on public roads are hard to see, especially at night. Avoid personal injury or death resulting from a collision with a vehicle.
• Whenever driving on public roads, use flashing warning lights and turn signals according to local regulations. Extra flashing warning lights may need to be installed.
Adjusting Seat
1.Tip seat forward and loosen two knobs (A) to slide seat assembly forward or rearward to most comfortable OPERATOR position.

Avoid Using Ground Engaging Equipment
(Model S2048 Only)
IMPORTANT: Your S2048 tractor is NOT intended for use with ground engaging equipment. Use of such equipment could result in damage to transmission components.
Tractor Model S2048 is not intended for use with ground engaging equipment such as a rear tiller, disk, dirt blade or plow.
Using Front Weights
cCAUTION: Tractor front wheel weights improve stability in most slope operation. To avoid injury, add front wheel weights for better front-end stability and steering when using a rear mounted attachment or pulling a cart.
NOTE: Before installing wheel weights on your machine, MAKE SURE that the tire valve stems are facing the inside.
Install front wheel weights for better stability and steering control when you use equipment such as the rear-mounted grass bagger or dumpcart.
Remove front wheel weights when not required.
Using Rear Wheel Weights
IMPORTANT: When adding weight to rear of tractor, use wheel weights only.
34 kg (75 lbs.) MAX. each wheel.
Use of rear wheel weights is recommended when an attachment, such as snowthrower or snow blade is used.
