To Our Customers
We at Hardee by EVH Manufacturing Company thank
you for buying your new Long Reach Mower.
We have tried hard to build a mower to do the work
you have in mind. Many hours of engineering, field-
testing and improvement have gone into the design
and fabrication of your mower. We will strive to
continue this quality of manufacturing in the future,
always keeping the customer’s needs clearly in mind.
The best performance of your mower will depend on
you. Proper lubrication, maintenance, hookup,
adjustments and operation are essential for it to give
you long and dependable service. However, as with
any type of equipment, your mower is designed to
perform specific functions.
In this manual, you will find instructions on mower
features, maintenance and operation. If customer
service or repair parts are required, contact your local
Hardee dealer. Please specify model and serial
number when ordering parts.
Owner’s Responsibility
The manufacturer has no control over the ultimate use
of the mower and therefore assumes no responsibility
or liability for damage or injury resulting from the use
of this machine.
The upkeep of the hydraulic mower is the
responsibility of the user. This upkeep includes all
shielding, guards, and safety decals (OSHA
Regulation 1928.57). You can obtain replacement
parts from any authorized Hardee dealer.
Read this Operator's Manual before operating the
mower. Failure to do so could result in injury to the
operator or to others. Remember that most accidents
occur due to neglect or carelessness. The operator is
responsible for inspecting and making repairs as may
be necessary. Cleaning after each use and storage
under a shelter will extend the life of the mower.
