PRACTICES AND LAWS 2. Danger! Practice usual and customary safe working precautions, for the benefit of yourself and others. Understand and follow all safety messages. Be alert to unsafe conditions and the possibility of minor, moderate, or serious injury or death. Learn applicable rules and laws in your area, including those that may restrict the age of the operator. Avoid injury - Stay clear of rotating parts. OL1816 3. Warning! REQUIRED OPERATOR TRAINING Always stand clear of discharge area.
Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Be sure to travel in the recommended direction on hillsides. Turf conditions can affect the machine’s stability. Use caution while operating near drop-offs. • Avoid sudden turns. • Keep safety devices (guards, shields, switches, etc.) in place and working. • Check interlock system per manual before use. • Understand location and function of all controls. Slow down and use caution when making turns and when changing directions on slopes.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING: HYDRAULIC FLUID can result in severe burns. Fluid in hydraulic system can penetrate skin and result in serious injury or death. Be sure to stop the engine before doing any work on hydraulic parts. Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles which expel hydraulic fluid when under pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.
Periodically check the starting circuit to make sure all system components operate correctly. Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then turn slowly and gradually downhill if possible. If the starting system does not work, consult your Ariens Dealer immediately. Operate the mower only in daylight or when the area to be mowed is lit well by artificial light. Use extra caution when mowing on slopes.
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Before applying pressure to the system, make sure all connections are tightened, and lines, pipes and hoses are not damaged. Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible. Do not use your hands to search for suspected leaks. Instead, use a piece of cardboard and wear protective eye wear such as safety goggles. Always stop the power unit, turn off PTO and allow unit to cool before refueling.
Do not attempt to service a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job. If you are not qualified to make the repairs, take the unit to your Ariens dealer or a qualified repair service. When seating tire beads on the rims, never exceed 2, 4 bar (35 p.s.i.) or the maximum inflation specified on your tires. Inflation beyond this maximum pressure may break the bead, or even the rim, with dangerous explosive force.
Deck Lubrication 1. Remove knob from discharge shield. 2. Remove discharge assembly from Transport position. 3. Install discharge assembly in Operating position. Lubricate all fittings per maintenance label under seat and check hydraulic oil level. See Lubrication and Maintenance on page 19. 4. Reinstall knob in discharge assembly and tighten.

If engine begins to slow, due to excessive load, operate at a slower ground speed while maintaining the engine speed.
3. Set the anti-scalp adjustment to desired height of cut. 6. Allow the engine to warm for about five minutes before operating the unit. 4. To adjust the anti-scalp rollers, remove the 5/8-11 x 4.25" bolts and reinstall the bolts in the appropriate hole for the desired height of cut (see figure 9). NOTE: Warming time will vary depending on the ambient temperature. For temperatures below 32° F (0° C), allow ten or more minutes for the unit to warm. 5.
PARKING Pre-plan mowing over uneven terrain so the grass will be dry, minimizing wheel slippage and spinning, which will damage the turf. To park the unit: 1. Bring the steering levers to neutral and then push them out to the park position. Before mowing, check the area to determine the best procedure. Consider the grass type and height, and the type of uneven terrain on which the mowing is to take place.
LOADING THE MOWER TRANSPORTING THE MOWER WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when loading and unloading the unit from a ramp. WARNING: When transporting the mower, make sure the steering control levers are in the park position, the wheels have been blocked, the machine has been securely fastened by cables, chains or ropes, and the trailer has been secured to the towing vehicle with safety chains. Use only a single, full width ramp.
Interval Task Action Check Safety Interlock System Each Use WARNING: Safety interlock system failure and improper operation of unit can result in death or serious injury. Test this system each time the unit is operated. If this system does not function as described, do not operate until repairs are made (see Safety Interlock System on page 12). All Controls, Switches Inspect regularly and repair when necessary. All Fasteners, hardware Inspect regularly and tighten when necessary.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand entire Safety section before proceeding. SERVICE ACCESS CAUTION: Shut off the engine before servicing the mower.
