MANEUVERING SAFELY
SAFETY
In general
- Slow down before turning.
- Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look behind and down for small children and pets before and during backing.
- Be aware when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, tall grass or other objects that may obscure vision.
- If tires lose traction, disengage the blades. If on a slope, head downhill.
Mowing slopes
Slopes are a major factor in loss-of-control and tip over accidents that sometimes lead to severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution.
- Do not mow on slopes if uneasy or uncertain. Ultimate responsibility for safe operation on slopes rests with the operator.
- Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
- On zero turn machines, mow across slopes, not up and down.
- Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
- With a zero turn machine, if tires lose traction going down a slope, steering control may be regained by speeding up.
- Mid-mount zero turns (belly mounted deck) have much greater traction pointed up slope than down slope. Be aware that traction may be lost going down a slope. Do not operate a mid-mount zero turn on slopes it cannot back up.
- Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
- Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then turn slowly and downhill when possible.
- Stay away from slopes if the ground is loose or if caught in the rain during mowing.
- Use lower speeds on a slope to avoid stopping or shifting.
WARNING
- Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine.
- Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs etc.
- Avoid driving over obstacles such as ruts, holes, rocks and roots whenever possible. Be alert to dips and rises. Uneven terrain can overturn a mower or cause it to slide. Tall grasses can hide obstacles.
- Do not mow dropoffs, ditches or embankments. The machine could suddenly turn over if a wheel runs over the edge or an edge caves in.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.
- Do not mow slopes when grass is wet. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

SAFETY
WOODS
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
In general
- Maintain machine according to manufacturer's schedule and instructions for maximum safety and best mowing results.
- Park machine on level ground.
- Never allow untrained personnel to service ma­chine.
- Adjust or repair only after the engine has been stopped and the blades have quit rotating.
- Inspect grass catcher components regularly. If worn, damaged or deteriorated, they may expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown.
- Replace parts if worn, damaged or faulty. For best results, always replace with parts recommended by the manufacturer.
- Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire(s) before making any repairs. Disconnect the
negative terminal rst and the positive last. Re-
connect positive rst and negative last.
- Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or restraining forces which may cause parts to move suddenly.
- Provide adequate support, e.g. jackstands for lifted machine or parts if working beneath.
- Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
- Clean up spilled oil or fuel thoroughly.
- Replace faulty mufers.
- To reduce re hazards, keep the engine, mufer,
battery compartment and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, debris buildup or grease.
- Hydraulic uid can penetrate skin, use paper
to check for leaks. Relieve hydraulic pressure before disconnecting hoses. Make sure connections are tight and hoses are in good condition.
Blades
- Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Use extra caution when handling. Remove ob­structions with care. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves.
- Be aware that rotating one blade on multiblade mowers can cause other blades to rotate.
- Only replace blades. Never straighten or weld them.
- Keep other persons away from blades.
Fuel
- Gasoline and diesel fuels are
ammable; gasoline vapors
are explosive. Use extra care when handling.
- Store only in containers spe-
cically designed for fuel.
- When refueling or checking fuel level:
- Stop the engine and allow to cool;
- Do not smoke;
- Refuel outdoors only;
- Use a funnel;
- Do not overll;
- If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine until the spill is cleaned up and vapors have cleared.
Sparks from static electricity can start res or cause
explosions. Flowing fuel can generate static electricity. To prevent static electricity sparks:
- Keep containers electrically grounded. Do not ll
containers in a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Fill containers on the ground away from the vehicle.
- When practical, remove gas powered equip­ment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If equipment must be refueled on the truck or trailer, refuel from a portable container rather than a dispenser nozzle.
- Keep the dispenser nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
- Replace caps on fuel cans and tanks securely.

WOODS
Reverse movement - To move the machine straight
back, pull both traction levers back equally from their neutral position. Reverse speed increases as the levers are moved back farther. Maximum reverse speed is reached when the levers hit the rear of the forward-reverse slot. When moving in reverse, push­ing the levers forward slows the machine, and the machine stops when the neutral position is reached.
NOTE: Reverse is spring loaded to return to neutral. This spring resistance may be felt when moving the traction levers into reverse. When the levers are released in reverse, spring tension will slowly return them to the neutral position.
STEERING - To steer, move one lever forward and
one back.
LIFT LEVER (F) - Used to raise the cutterdeck to
maximum height for transport, curb climbing or blade changing. To return to preset height of cut, lower lift lever until it contacts height of cut pin A.
TRACTION LEVERS (L) - Each of the two
traction levers controls the drive wheel located on the same side. They control the forward and reverse movement of the machine, provide steering and also provide dynamic braking.
The operator must be in the seat and the parking brake must be OFF to engage the traction drive. To engage traction drive, move the traction levers toward the center of the machine until they are out of neutral lock slot S.
Forward movement - To move the machine straight ahead, push both traction levers forward equally from their neutral position. Forward speed increases as the levers are moved farther forward from the neutral position. Maximum forward speed is reached when the levers hit the front of the forward-reverse slot. When traveling forward, pulling the traction levers rearward slows the machine. The machine stops when the neutral position is reached.
Turns during forward movement:
- Right turn - move the right traction lever back
toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.
- Left turn - move the left traction lever back to-
ward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.
Turns during reverse movement:
- Reverse right turn - move the right traction lever
forward toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.
- Reverse left turn - move the left traction lever
forward toward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.
Slow, sweeping turns are made with both traction levers on the same side of neutral and slightly apart. True zero radius turns about the center of the machine are made by having one lever in reverse while the other is in forward. By varying the relative positions of the two levers, the rate of turn is varied to suit the mowing situation.
Slow down before making sharp turns. The machine is capable of turning very rapidly when the levers are moved further apart from each other. Loss of control and/or turf damage may result.
