ARead these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of

unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. This

mow-

ina

deck is capable of amoutatina hands and feet and throwina

obiects.

The triangle

in text signi-

fies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.

GENERAL OPERATION

l Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the

manual and on the unit before starting.

l Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with

the instructions, to operate the unit.

l Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire,

etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the

blade(s).

l Be sure the area is clear of other people before mow-

ing. Stop unit if anyone enters the area.

l Never carry passengers.

l Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely

necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while

trav-

elling

in reverse.

l Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do

not point it at anyone. Do not operate the mower

without either the entire grass catcher or the deflector

in place.

l Slow down before turning.

l Never leave a running unit unattended. Always

disengage the PTO, set parking brake, stop engine,

and remove keys before dismounting.

l Turn off the PTO switch to disengage the blades

when not mowing.

l Stop engine before removing grass catcher or

unclogging chute.

l Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

l Do not operate the unit while under the influence of

alcohol or drugs.

l Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways.

l Use extra care when loading or unloading the unit

into a trailer or truck.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and

tip-over accidents, which can result in severe’ injury or

death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot

back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

AWARNING

SLOPE OPERATION

Never operate on slopes greater than 30 percent

(16.7”) which is a rise of three feet vertically in 10 feet

horizontally. When operating on slopes that are

greater than 15 percent (6.5”) but less than 30 percent

use front counterweights and rear wheel weights (see

your dealer). Select slow ground speed before driving

onto slope. In addition to front and rear weights, use

extra caution when operating on slopes with rear-

mounted grass catcher. Mow UP and DOWN the slope,

never across the face, use caution when changing

directions and DO NOT START OR STOP ON SLOPE.

l See your authorized dealer for recommendations of

wheel weights or counteweights to improve stability.

l Mow up and down slopes, not across.

l Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

l Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could

overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

l Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will

not have to stop or shift while on the slope.

l Use extra care with grass catchers or other attach-

ments. These can change the stability of the unit.

l Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.

Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Do Not

l Do not start or stop on a slope. If tires lose traction,

disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

l Do notturn on slopes unless necessary, and then,

turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

l Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embank-

ments. The mower could suddenly turn over if a

wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves in.

l Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could

cause sliding.

l Do not by to stabilize the unit by putting your foot on

the ground.

l Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.

Safety Rules

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to

the presence of children. Children are often attracted to

the unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that chil-

dren will remain where you last saw them.

l Keep children out of the mowing area and under the

watchful care of another responsible adult.

l Se

alert

and turn unit off if children enter the area.

l Before and during reverse operation, look behind and

down for small children.

l Never carry children. They may fall off and be seri-

ously injured or interfere with safe unit operation.

l Never allow children to operate the unit.

l Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,

trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

CHECKS BEFORE STARTING

Make sure you have proper wheel or counterweights

installed if required. See Slope Operation in the

Safety Rules section. Make sure any slopes are with-

in required limits.

Check that crankcase is filled to full mark on dipstick.

See the engine Operator’s Manual for instructions

and oil recommendations.

Make sure all nuts, bolts, screws and pins are in

place and tight.

Make sure you can reach all controls from operator’s

positions. If not, see SEAT ADJUSTMENT.

Fill the gasoline tank with fresh gasoline. Fill to bot-

tom of filler neck to avoid spillage and overflow. DO

NOT mix oil with gasoline. Refer to engine manual for

gasoline recommendations.

AWARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and must be han-

dled with care. Never fill the tank when the

engine is still hot from recent operation. Do not

allow open flame, smoking or matches in the

area. Avoid overfilling and wipe up any spills.

CLUTCH/BRAKE PEDAL OPERATION

halfway disengages the transmission drive. Depressing

pedal further applies the tractor brake.

On hydro model, depressing the pedal applies the trac-

tor brake.

PARKING BRAKE

Parking brake can be applied by fully depressing the

brake pedal (H, Figures

2),

then pulling up on the

parking brake knob (C, Figures

2).

On hydro model, ground speed is infinitely variable

according to how far the pedals

J, Figure 1) are

moved in the forward or reverse position.

On gear model, ground speed is selected by fully

depressing the clutch/brake pedal, then moving the gear

selector

(I,

Figure 2) to the appropriate position. Most

mowing is done in 3rd gear with engine speed at full

throttle. If the terrain is rough, hilly, or sloping, use first

or second gear. If the grass is wet or over three inches

(76mm) high, use full engine speed with low gear so the

mower will have enough power to cut the grass. Shift

gears only with tractor stopped and clutch/brake pedal

fully depressed.

1. If you are ready to mow, set the mower to the desired

cutting height (see Adjusting Mower Cutting Height)

and adjust the seat so that the controls can be easily

reached (see Seat Adjustment).

2. Set the throttle (B, Figures 1
