engine and make sure all moving parts are
stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all
drives. Remove the starter key.
3.7 SLOPES
TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WORKING ON
SLOPES
• Local undulations and sinkage will change
the general slope. Avoid ground conditions
which can cause the machine to slide.
• Keep machine speeds low on slopes and
during tight turns.
• Sudden decelerating or braking can cause
the rear wheels to lift. Remember there is
no such thing as a “safe” slope.
• Travel on grass slopes requires particular
care.
DO NOT USE ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 15°
IMPORTANT: When working on any slope set the
weight transfer, if fitted to its maximum (+) setting.
3.8 BLOCKED CUTTING CYLINDERS
• Stop the engine and make sure all moving

• Disassemble the structure of the
machine referring to the technical
manuals where appropriate. Special
attention should be made for dealing
with ‘stored energy’ within
pressurised elements of the machine
or tensioned springs.
• Other worn out items should be
separated into material groups for
recycling and disposal consistent with
available facilities. More common
separation types are as follows:
• Steel
• Non ferrous metals
• Aluminium
• Brass
• Copper
• Plastics
• Identifiable
• Recyclable
• Non recyclable
• Not identified
• Rubber
• Items that cannot be separated
economically into different material
groups should be added to the
‘General waste’ area.
• Do not incinerate waste.
Finally update machinery records to indicate
that the machine has been taken out of service
and scrapped.
• Any items that still have a useful
service life as second hand
components or can be re-serviced

glasses, leather work shoes or boots, a
hard hat and ear protection.
1. Under no circumstances should the engine be started without the operator seated on the tractor.
2. Do not operate tractor or attachments with loose, damaged or missing components. Whenever
possible mow when grass is dry
3. First mow in a test area to become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the tractor and control
levers.
Note: To prevent damage to the reel and bottom blade never operate the reels when they are not
cutting grass. Excessive friction and heat will develop between the bottom blade and reel
and damage the cutting edge.
4. Study the area to determine the best and safest operating procedure. Consider the height of the
grass, type of terrain, and condition of the surface. Each condition will require certain adjustments
or precautions.
5. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders, nor allow anyone near the machine while in
operation. The owner/operator is responsible for injuries inflicted to bystanders and/or damage to thei
property.
CAUTION
Pick up all debris you can find before
mowing. Enter a new area cautiously
Always operate at speeds that allow you to
have complete control of the tractor
6. Use discretion when mowing near gravel areas (roadway, parking areas, cart paths, etc.). Stones
discharged from the implement may cause serious injuries to bystanders and/or damage the
equipment.
7. Disengage the drive motors and raise the implements when crossing paths or roads. Look out for
traffic.
8. Stop and inspect the equipment for damage immediately after striking an obstruction or if the
machine begins to vibrate abnormally. Have the equipment repaired before resuming operation.
