Safety Safe Operation Practices for Ride-on (riding) Rotary Lawnmower Machines 1 This machine meets or exceeds European Standards in effect at the time of production. However, 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.
• lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes; – do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill; • incorrect hitching and load distribution. – engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear, especially when travelling downhill; Preparation – machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and during tight turns; • While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or not in use. Sound Pressure • Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment This unit has a maximum sound pressure level at the operator ’s ear of 91 dBA, based on measurements of identical machines per Directive 98/37/EC. – before refuelling; – before removing the grass catcher; Sound Power – before making height adjustment unless adjustment can be made from the operator’s position.

1. Remove the battery from the tractor. 4 2. Clean the top of the battery with a paper towel. 2 Note: Never fill the battery with electrolyte while the battery installed in the tractor. Electrolyte could be spilled on other parts and cause corrosion. 3 1 3. Remove the vent caps from the battery (Fig. 6). 4. Slowly pour electrolyte into each battery cell until the level is up to the upper line on the battery case (Fig. 6).
Test Driving the Tractor Operation 1. Fill the tank with unleaded regular gasoline; Gasoline and Oil, page 11. Open the fuel shutoff valve and check the fuel hose and fittings for leaks. Think Safety First 2. As applicable, check and test the operation of the following: Please carefully read all the safety instructions. Knowing this information could help you, your family, pets or bystanders avoid injury.
Controls for Model 419XT Releasing the Parking Brake Become familiar with all the controls (Fig. 2) before you start the engine and operate the machine. 1. Push down on the brake pedal (Fig. 3). The parking brake lever should release. 2. Gradually release the brake pedal. 1 13 6 10 9 11 1 2 7 3 12 8 2 5 4 m–6516 Figure 3 1. Brake pedal Starting and Stopping the Engine m–6513 Figure 2 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
Operating the Power Take Off (PTO) 7. After the engine starts, move the choke lever to off (Fig. 4). If the engine stalls or hesitates, move the choke lever back to on for a few seconds. Then move the throttle lever to desired setting. Repeat this as required. The power take off (PTO) engages and disengages power to the electric clutch. While the ignition key is in run or lights position and the power take off (PTO) is engaged on, the PTO light, in the Indicator Module, will be on.
Understanding the Safety Interlock System 6. With the parking brake released, turn the ignition key to the RUN run position without starting the engine. Pull the PTO switch to on. You should hear an audible click indicating the PTO is activated and the PTO light will illuminate. Move the foot pedal to reverse. You should hear an audible click indicating the PTO is deactivated and the PTO light should turn off.
Indicator Control Module 2. Insert the KeyChoice key into the switch (Fig. 7). The indicator control module (Fig. 10 and 11) contains lights for: • Operating in reverse • Power take off (PTO) • Battery • Oil pressure • Hourmeter (LED) 1 • Cruise control (Model 419XT only) m–4220 • Fuel level (Model 419XT only) Figure 7 5 1. KeyChoice switch 2 3 4 1 3. Turn the KeyChoice key. A red light on the front console (Fig. 8 and 9) turns on, indicating that the interlock is disabled.
PTO (Power Take Off) To slow down, release the pressure on the traction control pedal. The PTO (power take off) light will be on when the ignition key is in the run or lights positions and the PTO (power take off) is engaged on. When this light is on it is a reminder; the starter will not crank and turn off the PTO before getting off. Important To avoid transmission damage, always release the parking brake before moving the traction control pedal.
2. Push the lift switch in the up direction to raise the attachment lift (Fig. 13). This will lift and hold the attachment in the up, or raised position. 2 1 Lowering Attachments 1. Turn key to the on or run position (Fig. 13). 2. Push the lift switch in the down direction to lower the attachment lift (Fig. 13). This will lower the attachment lift. m–6531 2 Figure 14 3 1. Lift lever 1 2. Button Positioning the Seat The seat can move forward and backward.
Headlights Using the Cruise Control The headlights are turned on with a separate position, lights, of the ignition switch (Fig. 16). The lights are on while the ignition switch is in the lights position even with the engine off. Remove the key when the machine is left unattended so lights can not be turned or discharging the battery. A three position switch, located on the dash (Fig.18), with the functions of: Lock–Set (spring loaded), On and Unlock–Off controls the engagement.
Pushing the Machine by Hand Important Always push the machine by hand. Never tow the machine because transaxle damage may occur. To Push the Machine 1. Disengage the power take off (PTO) and turn the ignition key to off. 2. Move the drive control rod to the push position. This disengages the drive system and allows the wheels to turn freely (Fig. 19). To Operate the Machine 1. Move the drive control rod to the operate position (Fig. 19).

3. Push the wire(s) onto the spark plug(s) (Fig. 26). Greasing and Lubrication 1 Grease the machine after every 50 operating hours or yearly, whichever occurs first. Grease more frequently when operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy. 2 Grease Type: General-purpose grease. How to Grease M–4294 1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the ignition key. Figure 26 1. Spark plug wire installed 2. Spark plug 2.
Checking the Tire Pressure 3. To adjust the brake remove the cotter pin and loosen the brake adjusting nut slightly (Fig. 30). Maintain the air pressure in the front and rear tires as specified. Check the pressure at the valve stem after every 25 operating hours or monthly, whichever occurs first (Fig. 29). Check the tires when they are cold to get the most accurate pressure reading. 4. Carefully insert a 0.015 inch (0.38 mm) feeler gauge between the outer brake pad and rotor disk (Fig. 30). 5.
Servicing the Fuel Filter 2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position. Replace the fuel filter after every 100 operating hours or yearly, whichever occurs first. 3. Close the fuel shut–off valve at the fuel tank (Fig. 31). Replacing the Fuel Filter Never install a dirty filter if it is removed from the fuel line. 1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake. 2.
Servicing the Fuses 5. The front measurement should be less than the rear, as specified. Service Interval/Specification The electrical system is protected by fuses. It requires no maintenance, however, if a fuse blows check component/circuit for malfunction or short. To replace fuses pull up on the fuse (Fig. 34) to remove or replace it.
Servicing the Battery 5. Push and rotate the bulb counterclockwise until it stops (approx. 1/4 turn) and remove bulb from the bulb holder (Fig. 36). Service Interval/Specification Always keep the battery clean and fully charged. Use a paper towel to clean the battery case. If the battery terminals are corroded, clean them with a solution of four parts water and one part baking soda. Apply a light coating of grease to the battery terminals to prevent corrosion.
6. Lift the red cover up from the positive cable. Disconnect the positive cable (red cover) from the battery post (Fig. 37). 1 7. Remove the battery hold down strap (Fig. 37). Remove battery from the tractor. 2 5 3 4 1 3 4 5 Figure 38 2 6 m–6525 1. Battery 2. Side panel tabs 3. Screw 4. Pin 5. Right side panel m–6520 Checking the Electrolyte Level Figure 37 1.

Important Always keep the battery fully charged (1.265 specific gravity). This is especially important to prevent battery damage when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C). Danger Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a deadly poison and causes severe burns. 1. Remove the battery from the chassis; refer to Removing the Battery, page 33. • Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes and robber gloves to protect your hands.
