Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety alert symbol, which means CAUTION, WARNING, or DANGER—“personal safety instruction.” Failure to comply with the instruction may result in personal injury or death. Introduction Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate and maintain your product properly.
• The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for accidents or injuries occurring to himself or herself, other people, or property. • EU (European Union) standard EN836 requires a maximum slope usage angle statement. This stated angle is 50% of the smallest angle recorded during the of stability test. For this product this statement is; Do not use on slopes of more than 10°. Preparation • Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care.
• Disengage drives, lower the cutting units, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key and disconnect spark plug wire (gas engine only). Wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing. – before clearing blockages; – before checking, cleaning or working on the mower; – after striking a foreign object or if an abnormal vibration occurs. Inspect the mower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment.
• Check the safety interlock switches daily for proper operation. If a switch should fail, replace the switch before operating the machine. After every two years, replace all interlock switches in the safety system, whether they are working properly or not. Maintenance and Storage • Before starting the engine, sit on the seat. • Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
