Safety

Training

1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar

with the controls and the proper use of the

equipment.

2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with

these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local

regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

3. Never mow while people, especially children,

or pets are nearby.

4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards occurring

to other people or their property.

5. Do not carry passengers.

6. All drivers should seek and obtain professional

and practical instruction. Such instruction

should emphasize:

• the need for care and concentration when

working with rideon machines;

• control of a ride on machine sliding on a

slope will not be regained by the application

of the brake. The main reasons for loss of

control are:

– insufficient wheel grip;

– being driven too fast;

– inadequate braking;

– the type of machine is unsuitable for its

task;

– lack of awareness of the effects of ground

conditions, especially slopes;

Preparation

1. While mowing, always wear substantial

footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the

equipment when barefoot or wearing open san-

dals.

2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equip-

ment is to be used and remove all objects which

may be thrown by the machine.

3. WARNING—Petrol is highly flammable.

•Store fuel in containers specifically designed

for this purpose.

• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke

while refueling.

• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never

remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol

while the engine is running or when the

engine is hot.

• If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the

engine but move the machine away from the

area of spillage and avoid creating any

source of ignition until petrol vapors have

dissipated.

• Replace all fuel tanks and container caps

securely.

4. Replace faulty silencers.

5. Before using, always visually inspect to see that

the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are

not worn or damaged. Replace worn or dam-

aged blades and bolts in sets to preserve bal-

ance.

6. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating

one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

Operation

1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space

where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can

collect.

2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

3. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage

all blade attachment clutches and shift into neu-

tral.

4. Do not use on slopes of more than:

• Never mow side hills over 5°

• Never mow uphill over 10°

• Never mow downhill over 15°

5. Remember there is no such thing as a “safe”

slope. Travel on grass9 slopes requires particu-

Safety

lar care. To guard against overturning:

• do not stop or start suddenly when going up

or downhill;

• engage clutch slowly, always keep machine

in gear, especially when travailing downhill;

• machine speeds should be kept low on

slopes and during tight turns;

• stay alert for bumps and hollows and other

hidden hazards;

• never mow across the face of the slope,

unless the lawnmower is designed for this

purpose.

6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy

equipment.

• Use only approved drawbar hitch points.

• Limit loads to those you can safely control.

• Do not turn sharply. Use care when revers-

ing.

• Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when

suggested in the instruction handbook .

7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near

roadways.

8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces

other than grass.

9. When using any attachments, never direct dis-

charge of material toward bystanders nor allow

anyone near the machine while in operation .

10. Never operate the lawnmower with defective

guards, shields or without safety protective

devices in place.

11. Do not change the engine governor settings or

overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at

excessive speeds may increase the hazard of

personal injury.

12. Before leaving the operator's position:

• disengage the power take-off and lower the

attachments;

• change into neutral and set the parking

brake;

• stop the engine and remove the key.

13. Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine,

and disconnect the spark plug wire(s)or remove

the ignition key

• before cleaning blockages or unclogging

chute;

• before checking, cleaning or working on the

lawnmower;

• after striking a foreign object. Inspect the

lawnmower for damage and make repairs

before restarting and operating the equip-

ment;

• if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally

(check immediately).

14. Disengage drive to attachments when transport-

ing or not in use.

15. Stop the engine and disengage drive to attach-

ment

• before refueling;

• before removing the grass catcher;

• before making height adjustment unless

adjustment can be made from the operator's

position.

16. Reduce the throttle setting during engine runout

and, if the engine is provided with a shutoff

valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of

mowing.

Maintenance and Storage

1. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure

the equipment is in safe working condition.

2. Never store the equipment with petrol in the

tank inside a building where fumes may reach

an open flame or spark.

3. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any

enclosure.

4. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,

silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage

area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

5. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or

Safety

deterioration.

6. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be

done outdoors

8. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating

one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

9. When machine is to be parked, stored or left

unattended, lower the cutting means unless a

positive mechanical lock is used.

Specifications

CHECK THE ENGINE OIL

The engine is shipped with 3.8 qt (3.6 l) of oil in the

crankcase; however, check the oil level before and

after you first start the engine.

1. Position the machine on a level surface.

2. Open the hood.

3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean

rag. Insert the dipstick into the tube and make

sure it is seated fully. Remove the dipstick and

check the level of oil (Fig. 1). If the oil level is

low, add enough oil to raise the level to the

FULL mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill

(Fig. 2).

Figure 1

1. Engine oil dipstick

Figure 2

1. Engine oil fill

Note: If the level of oil is at the ADD mark on the

dipstick, add 1 pint (0.47 l) of oil and recheck

the level. Do not overfill.

4. The engine uses any high-quality 10W30 deter-

gent oil having the American Petroleum

Institute – API–”service classification” SE or

SF. Use the following chart to select the proper

viscosity grade for the temperature expected.

Note: Using multigrade oils (5W20, 10W30

and 10W40) will increase oil consumption.

Check the oil level more often when using

them.

IMPORTANT: Check the oil level every 5

operating hours or daily. Change oil after the

first 8 hours of operation. Thereafter,

change the engine oil every after every 50

hours of operation and the engine oil filter

after every 100 hours of operation.

5. Insert the dipstick into the tube and install the

fill cap.

CHECK THE COOLING SYSTEM

Clean debris off the screen, oil cooler and front of

the radiator daily (Fig. 3); hourly if conditions are

extremely dusty and dirty. Refer to Cleaning the

Radiator and Screen section.
