Operating Safety

Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece of lawn and garden equipment. Our products are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all industry standards for safety.

Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous! Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of those around you.

Use common sense, and think through what you are doing. If you are not sure that the task you are about to perform can be safely done with the equipment you have chosen, ask a professional: contact your local authorized dealer.

Read the Manual

The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.

Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the most out of your equipment investment.

Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found on the following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow them anywhere near the area of operation. Children are often attracted to the unit and mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. If there is a risk that children may enter the area where you are mowing, have another responsible adult watch them.

DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN RIDES ON THIS UNIT! This encourages them to come near the unit in the future while it is running, and they could be seriously hurt. They may then approach the unit for a ride when you are not expecting it, and you may run over them.

Reverse

Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while traveling in reverse even with the mower blades disengaged.

Safety Rules and Information

Slope Operation

You could be seriously injured or even killed if you use this unit on too steep an incline. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep or where you don’t have adequate traction can cause you to lose control or roll over.

A good rule of thumb is to not operate on any slope you cannot back up (in 2-wheel drive mode). You should not operate on inclines with a slope greater than a 3.5 foot rise over a 20 foot length. Always drive up and down slopes: never cross the face.

Also note that the surface you are driving on can greatly impact stability and control. Wet grass or icy pavement can seriously affect your ability to control the unit.

If you feel unsure about operating the unit on an incline, don’t do it. It’s not worth the risk.

Moving Parts

This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or someone else. However, if you are seated in the seat properly, and follow all the rules in this book, the unit is safe to operate.

The mower deck has spinning mower blades that can amputate hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the equipment while it is running!

To help you, the operator, use this equipment safely, it is equipped with an operator-present safety system. Do NOT attempt to alter or bypass the system. See your dealer immediately if the system does not pass all the safety interlock system tests found in this manual.

Thrown Objects

This unit has spinning mower blades. These blades can pick up and throw debris that could seriously injure a bystander. Be sure to clean up the area to be mowed BEFORE you start mowing.

Do not operate this unit without the entire grass catcher or discharge guard (deflector) in place.

Also, do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running! If someone does enter the area, shut the unit off immediately until they leave.

Fuel and Maintenance

Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable and can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a fuel, not as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where its vapors can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel belongs in an approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the tractor fuel tank with the cap securely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.

Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit. Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, especially periodically testing the safety system.

Safety Rules & Information

GENERAL OPERATION

1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the unit before starting.

2. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

3. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the unit (local regulations can restrict operator age).

4. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade(s).

5. Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop the unit if anyone enters the area.

6. Never carry passengers.

7. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while travelling in reverse.

8. Never direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces.

9. Do not operate the machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard (deflector), or other safety devices in place.

10. Slow down before turning.

11. Never leave a running unit unattended. Always disengage the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove keys before dismounting.

12. Disengage blades (PTO) when not mowing. Shut off engine and wait for all parts to come to a complete stop before cleaning the machine, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge guard.

13. Operate the machine only in daylight or good artificial light.

14. Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

15 Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways.

16. Use extra care when loading or unloading the unit into a trailer or truck.

17. Always wear eye protection when operating this unit.

18. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of power equipment-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the equipment safely enough to protect themselves and others from injury.

19. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights.

20. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents occurring to other people or property.

21. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction.

22. Always wear substantial footwear and trousers. Never operate when barefoot or wearing sandals.

23. Before using, always visually check that the blades and blade hardware are present, intact, and secure. Replace worn or damaged parts.

24. Disengage attachments before: refueling, removing an attachment, making adjustments (unless the adjustment can be made from the operator’s position).

25. When the machine is parked, stored, or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used.

26. Before leaving the operator’s position for any reason, engage the parking brake (if equipped), disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and remove the key.

27. To reduce fire hazard, keep the unit free of grass, leaves, & excess oil. Do not stop or park over dry leaves, grass, or combustible materials.

28. It is a violation of California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate the engine on or near any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting any applicable local or state laws. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.

Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment.

This mowing deck is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.

The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE

1. When transporting the unit on an open trailer, make sure it is facing forward, in the direction of travel. If the unit is facing backwards, wind lift could damage the unit.

2. Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices when refueling the unit after transportation or storage.

3. Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.

4. Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage preparations before storing the unit for both short and long term periods.

5. Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.

6. Never store the unit or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or pilot light, such as in a water heater. Allow unit to cool before storing.

Safety Rules and Information

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.

2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

3. Before and during reverse operation, look behind and down for small children.

4. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe unit operation. 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 machine.

5. Never allow children to operate the unit.

6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

EMISSIONS

1. Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

2. Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air Index information on the engine emissions label.

IGNITION SYSTEM

1. This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover 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 operate on it.

Control of a walk-behind or ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake. The main reasons for loss of control are: insufficient tire grip on the ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the type of machine is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness of the ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load distribution.

1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.

2. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

3. Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop or change speeds while on the slope.

4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may loose traction.

5. Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

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

7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to rollover.

8. Use extra care while operating machines with grass catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of the unit. Do not use on steeps slopes.

9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground (ride-on units).

10. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

11. Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes.

12. Do not mow slopes you cannot back up them.

13. See your authorized dealer/retailer for recommendations of wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.

14. Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

15. Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes even through the brakes are functioning properly.

16. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

TOWED EQUIPMENT (RIDE-ON UNITS)

1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the hitch point.

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

3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.

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

5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.

6. Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill.

WARNING

Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent (10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in 20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.

When operating on slopes use additional wheel weights or counterweights. See your dealer/retailer to determine which weights are available and appropriate for your unit.

Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope. In addition to front weights, use extra caution when operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass catchers.

Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face, use caution when changing directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.

Safety Rules & Information

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Safe Handling of Gasoline

20. Do not change engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed can increase the hazard of personal injury.

21. Disengage drive attachments, stop the engine, remove the key, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) before: clearing attachment blockages and chutes, performing service work, striking an object, or if the unit vibrates abnormally. After striking an object, inspect the machine for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment.

22. Never place hands near the moving parts, such as a hydro pump cooling fan, when the tractor is running. (Hydro pump cooling fans are typically located on top of the transaxle).

23. Units with hydraulic pumps, hoses, or motors: WARNING: Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure may have sufficient force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury. If foreign fluid is injected into the skin it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene may result. Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, and not hands, to search for leaks. Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system. If leaks occur, have the unit serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.

24. WARNING: Stored energy device. Improper release of springs can result in serious personal injury. Springs should be removed by an authorized technician.

25. Models equipped with an engine radiator: WARNING: Stored energy device. To prevent serious bodily injury from hot coolant or steam blow-out, never attempt to remove the radiator cap while the engine is running. Stop the engine and wait until it is cool.

Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service

BATTERY CHARGING

A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may be the result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical component. If there is any doubt about the cause of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the Battery & Cables in the Regular Maintenance Section.

WARNING

Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the gasses coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the battery well during charging.

CATCHER-FULL ALARM ADJUSTMENT

There are two ways to adjust the “catcher full” alarm one for grass volume and one for sensitivity.

GRASS VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

Sliding the paddle bracket (C, Figure 32) up increases the volume of grass in the collector before the alarm goes off. Sliding the paddle bracket (C) down decreases the volume of grass in the collector before the alarm goes off.

1. Loosen bracket hardware (B).

2. Slide paddle bracket (C) up or down.

3. Tighten bracket hardware (B).

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

Sliding the carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) up decreases the sensitivity in the collector before the alarm goes off. Sliding the carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) down increases the sensitivity in the collector before the alarm goes off.

1. Loosen carriage bolt, washer and nut (D).

2. Slide carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) up or down the alarm paddle (A).

3. Tighten carriage bolt, washer and nut (D).

Note: It may be necessary to change the catcher-full alarm as turf conditions change.

MOWER LIFT ADJUSTMENT

The mower lift rod (A, Figure 33) can be inserted into two holes depending on the amount of mower lift desired. The upper hole provides higher mower lift when the attachment lift lever is placed in transport position. The lower hole will not lift the mower as high in transport position, but requires less lift effort.

To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings included in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge the battery until fully charged (until the specific gravity of the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte temperature is at least 60° F). Do not charge at a rate higher than 10 amps.

Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service

PTO CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

Check the PTO clutch adjustment after every 250 hours of operation. Also perform the following procedure if the clutch is slipping or will not engage, or if a new clutch has been installed.

1. Remove key from ignition switch and disconnect spark plug wires to prevent the possibility of accidental starting while the PTO is being adjusted.

2. See Figure 34. Note the position of the 3 adjustment windows (A) in the side of the brake plate and the nylock adjustment nuts (B).

3. Insert a .012”-.015” (2,5-4mm) feeler gauge (C) through each window, positioning the gauge between the rotor face and the armature face as shown in Figure 35.

4. Alternately tighten the adjustment nuts (B, Figure 32) until the rotor face and armature face just contacts the gauge.

5. Check the windows for an equal amount of tension when the gauge is inserted and removed, and make any necessary adjustments by tightening or loosening the adjustment nuts.

NOTE: The actual air gap between the rotor and armature may vary even after performing the adjustment procedure. This is due to dimensional variations on component parts, and is an acceptable condition.

6. Check the mower blade stopping time. The mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a complete stop within five seconds after the electric PTO switch is turned off.

7. Perform the BLADE BRAKE CHECK found in the MAINTENANCE Section. Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a complete stop within five seconds after electric PTO switch is turned off.

MOWER ADJUSTMENTS

Cutting Height Adjustment

The cutting height adjustment lever (A, Figure 37) controls the mower cutting height. Push the button to release the lever. Move the lever back to raise the deck and forward to lower it.

Leveling The Mower

If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling. Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an uneven cut. Make sure tire pressure is correct as specified in Checking Tire Pressure.

1. With the mower installed, place the tractor on a smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn the front wheels straight forward.

2. Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.

3. Disengage the PTO. Place the mower in mid-cut position. Arrange one of the mower blades so that it is pointing from side-to-side.

4. Measure the distance between the outside tips of each blade and the ground. If there is more than 1/8” (3mm) difference between the measurements on each side, proceed to step 5. If the difference is 1/8” (3mm) or less, proceed to step 6.

5. See Figure 38. Loosen the outside nut (A). Turn the eccentric nut (B) to raise or lower left-hand side of mower. When mower is level, hold the eccentric nut while tightening the outside nut.

6. Arrange the blades so they face front-to-back.

7. Measure the distance from the ground to front tip and rear tip of the left and right-hand blades. Front tips should be 1/8”-1/4” higher. If not, proceed with steps 8 - 10.

8. See Figure 39. To raise front of mower deck, loosen front nut (A) and turn rear nut (B) against bracket (C).

9. To lower front of mower deck, loosen rear nut (B) and bracket (C) will move backwards to lengthen rod.

10. Re-check measurement before tightening front nut (A) against bracket.
