Operator’s Manual

Original Instructions (EN/GB)

Important Always keep this manual with the original manual that came with the machine.

Safety

Slope Operation

• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

• Do not mow near drop–offs, ditches, steep banks or

water. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.

• Do not mow slopes when grass is wet. Slippery

conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding and loss of control.

• Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.

• Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer near

drop–offs, ditches, steep banks or water.

• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.

• Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs,

etc. from the mowing area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that

change the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the machine.

Using the Rollover Protection System (ROPS)

• Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position and

use the seat belt when operating the machine.

• Be certain that the seat belt can be released quickly in

the event of an emergency.

• Be aware there is no rollover protection when the roll

bar is down.

• Check the area to be mowed and never fold the ROPS

in areas where there are slopes, drop offs or water.

• Lower the rollbar only when absolutely necessary. Do

not wear the seat belt with the roll bar folded down.

• Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e. branches,

doorways, electrical wires) before driving under any objects and do not contact them.

• Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because the

mower may tip backwards.

• Be aware that loss of traction may occur going

downhill. Weight transfer to the front wheels may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering.

• Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

• Follow the manufacturer ’s recommendations for wheel

weights or counterweights to improve stability.

• Use extreme care with grass catchers or other

attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause loss of control.
