T his man ual uses tw o other w ords to highlight infor mation. Impor tant calls attention to special mec hanical infor mation and Note emphasizes g eneral infor mation w or th y of special attention.

Safety

T his mac hine meets or ex ceeds CEN standard EN 836:1997 (when appropriate decals applied), and ANSI B71.4-1999 speciﬁcations in effect at the time of production when equipped with required w eights as listed in the w eight c har t.

Improper use or maintenance b y the operator or o wner can result in injur y . T o reduce the potential for injur y , comply with these safety instr uctions and alw a ys pa y attention to the safety aler t symbol, whic h means CA UTION , W ARNING , or D ANGER-“personal safety instr uction." F ailure to comply with the instr uction ma y result in personal injur y or death.

Safe Operating Practices

T he follo wing instr uctions are from the CEN standard EN 836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990, and ANSI B71.4-1999.

Training

• R ead the operator’ s man ual and other training

material carefully . Be familiar with the controls , safety signs , and the proper use of the equipment.

• If the operator or mec hanic can not read

the languag e of this man ual, it is the o wner’ s responsibility to explain this material to them.

• Nev er allo w c hildren or people unfamiliar with

these instr uctions to use or ser vice the mo w er . Local regulations ma y restrict the ag e of the operator .

• Nev er mo w while people , especially c hildren, or

pets are nearb y .

• K ee p in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards occur ring to other people or their proper ty .

• Do not car r y passeng ers .

• All dri v ers and mec hanics should seek and obtain

professional and practical instr uction. T he o wner is responsible for training the users . Suc h instr uction should emphasize:

– the need for care and concentration when

w orking with ride-on mac hines;

– control of a ride-on mac hine sliding on a slope

will not be reg ained b y the application of the brak e . T he main reasons for loss of control are:

◊ insufﬁcient wheel g rip; ◊ being dri v en too fast; ◊ inadequate braking; ◊ the type of mac hine is unsuitable for the

task;

◊ lac k of a w areness of the effect of g round

conditions , especially slopes;

• T he o wner/user can prev ent and is responsible for

accidents or injuries occur ring to himself or herself , other people , or proper ty .

Preparation

• W hile mo wing, alw a ys w ear substantial footw ear ,

long trousers , hard hat, safety glasses , and hearing protection. Long hair , loose clothing, or jew elr y ma y g et tangled in mo ving par ts . Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or w earing open sandals .

• T horoughly inspect the area where the equipment

is to be used and remo v e all objects whic h ma y be thro wn b y the mac hine .

• W ar ning-Fuel is highly ﬂammable . T ak e the

follo wing precautions:

– Store fuel in containers speciﬁcally designed

for this pur pose .

– R efuel outdoors only and do not smok e while

refueling .

– Add fuel before star ting the engine . Nev er

remo v e the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is r unning or when the engine is hot.

– If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to star t the

engine but mo v e the mac hine a w a y from the area of spillag e and a v oid creating any source of ignition until fuel v apors ha v e dissipated.

– R e place all fuel tank and container caps

securely .

• R e place faulty silencers/m ufﬂers .

• Ev aluate the ter rain to deter mine what accessories

and attac hments are needed to properly and safely perfor m the job . Only use accessories and attac hments appro v ed b y the man ufacturer .

• Chec k that operator’ s presence controls , safety

switc hes and shields are attac hed and functioning properly . Do not operate unless they are functioning properly .

Operation

• Do not operate the engine in a conﬁned space

where dang erous carbon mono xide fumes can collect.

• Mo w only in da ylight or in g ood ar tiﬁcial light.

• Before attempting to star t the engine , diseng ag e all

blade attac hment clutc hes , shift into neutral, and eng ag e the parking brak e .

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating

par ts . K ee p clear of the disc harg e opening at all times .

• R emember there is no suc h thing as a safe slope .

T ra v el on g rass slopes requires par ticular care . T o guard ag ainst o v er tur ning:

– do not stop or star t suddenly when g oing up

or do wnhill;

– mac hine speeds should be k e pt lo w on slopes

and during tight tur ns;

– sta y aler t for humps and hollo ws and other

hidden hazards;

– nev er mo w across the face of the slope , unless

the mo w er is designed for this pur pose .

– Use counterw eight(s) or wheel w eights when

sug g ested in the operator’ s man ual.

• Sta y aler t for holes in the ter rain and other hidden

hazards .

• W atc h out for trafﬁc when crossing or near

roadw a ys .

• Stop the blades from rotating before crossing

surfaces other than g rass .

• W hen using any attac hments , nev er direct disc harg e

of material to w ard b ystanders nor allo w any one near the mac hine while in operation.

• Nev er operate the mac hine with damag ed guards ,

shields , or without safety protecti v e devices in place . Be sure all interloc ks are attac hed, adjusted properly , and functioning properly .

• Do not c hang e the engine g o v er nor settings or

operation. If a switc h should fail, re place the switc h before operating the mac hine . After ev er y tw o years , re place all interloc k switc hes in the safety system, whether they are w orking properly or not.

• Before star ting the engine , sit on the seat.

• Using the mac hine demands attention. T o prev ent

loss of control:

– Do not dri v e close to sand traps , ditc hes ,

creeks , embankments , or other hazards .

– R educe speed when making shar p tur ns . A v oid

sudden stops and star ts .

– W hen near or crossing roads , alw a ys yield the

right-of-w a y .

– Apply the ser vice brak es when g oing do wnhill

to k ee p forw ard speed slo w and to maintain control of the mac hine .

• W hen operating a mac hine on slopes , b y banks , or

drop offs , alw a ys ha v e R OPS (roll-o v er protection system) installed.

• W hen operating a mac hine with R OPS (roll-o v er

protection system) alw a ys use the seat belt and mak e sure seat pi v ot retainer pin is installed (GM only).

• Raise the cutting units when dri ving from one w ork

area to another .

• Do not touc h the engine , silencer/m ufﬂer , or

exhaust pipe while the engine is r unning or soon after it has stopped because these areas could be hot enough to cause bur ns .

• On any hill, there is the possibility of tipping or

rolling o v er , but the risk increases as the slope angle increases . Stee p hills should be a v oided.

Cutting units m ust be lo w ered when g oing do wn slopes to maintain steering control

• Eng ag e traction dri v e slo wly , alw a ys k ee p foot on

traction pedal, especially when tra v eling do wnhill.
