INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Yazoo/Kees ride-on mower. This machine is built for the greatest efficiency
and rapid mowing of large areas. Convenient controls and a hydrostatic transmission regulated by
steering levers also contribute to the machine’s performance.
This manual is a valuable document. Following the instructions (use, service, maintenance, etc.) can
considerably increase the life-span of your machine and even increase its resale value.
If you sell your machine, be sure to give the operator’s manual to the new owner.
The final chapter of this operator’s manual comprises a Service Journal. Ensure that service and
repair work is documented. A well kept service journal reduces service costs of the season-based
maintenance and affects the machine’s resale value. Take the operator’s manual along when the
machine is left at the service center for service.
General
In this operator’s manual, left and right, backward and forward are used in relation to the machine’s
normal driving direction.
Driving and Transport on Public Roads
Check applicable road traffic regulations before transporting on public roads. If the machine is transported, you should always use approved fastening equipment and ensure that the machine is well
anchored.
Operating
This machine is constructed only for mowing grass on lawns and other free and even ground without
obstacles such as stones, tree stubs, etc. The machine can also be used for other tasks when equipped
with special accessories provided by the manufacturer, for which the operating instructions are provided in conjunction with delivery. All other types of use are incorrect. The manufacturer’s directions
concerning operation, maintenance, and repairs must be carefully followed.
The machine must only be operated, maintained, and repaired by persons that are familiar with the
machine’s special characteristics and who are well versed in the safety instructions.
Accident prevention regulations, other general safety regulations, occupational safety rules, and traffic
regulations must be followed without fail.
Unauthorized modifications to the design of the machine may absolve the manufacturer from liability
for any resulting personal injury or property damage.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Driving on Slopes
Driving on slopes is one of the operations where
the risk is greatest that the driver will lose control
or the machine will tip over, which can result in
serious injury or death. All slopes require extra
caution. If you cannot reverse up a slope or if feel
unsure, do not mow the slope.
Do as follows:
• Remove obstacles such as stones, tree
branches, etc.
• Mow up and down, not side-to-side.
• Never drive the rider on terrain that slopes
more than 10°.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope, If the
tires begin to slip, shut down the blades and
drive slowly down the slope.
• Always drive evenly and slowly on slopes.
6003-004
Mow up and down, not side-to-side.
• Make no sudden changes in speed or direc-
tion.
• Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if it
proves necessary, turn slowly and gradually
downward, if possible.
• Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows,
holes, and bumps. On uneven terrain, the
machine can tip more easily. Long grass can
hide obstacles.
• Drive slowly. Use small movements of the
steering controls.
• Be extra cautious with any additional equip-
ment, which can alter the machine’s stability.
• Do not mow near verges, ditches, or banks.
The machine can suddenly spin around if a
wheel goes over the edge of a drop or ditch,
or if an edge gives way.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and the
tires can lose their grip, so that the machine
slides.
• Try not to stabilize the machine by putting a
foot on the ground.
8011-519
Be extra cautious when driving on slopes.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
• If machine stops while going uphill, disengage
blades and back down slowly.
• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and
then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
• When cleaning the chassis, the machine may
never be driven near verges or ditches.
