Fuel Safety compartment to help prevent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spills. • Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and others and can damage property. Adding Fuel – To prevent a static charge from igniting the fuel, place the container and/or machine directly on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.
Understanding the Safety-Interlock System The safety-interlock system is designed to prevent the engine from starting unless: • The blade-control switch (PTO) is disengaged. • The motion-control levers are in the PARK position. The safety-interlock system also is designed to shut off the engine whenever the control levers are out of the PARK position and you rise from the seat. Testing the Safety-Interlock System Test the safety-interlock system before you use the machine each time.
Adjusting the Motion-Control Levers Positioning the Seat The seat can move forward and backward. Position the seat where you have the best control of the machine and are most comfortable (Figure 9). Adjusting the Height You can adjust the motion-control levers higher or lower for maximum comfort (Figure 10). g027252 Figure 10 Adjusting the Tilt g293874 Figure 9 You can adjust the motion-control levers forward or rearward for your comfort. 14 1.
During Operation – Shut off the engine and remove the key. – Wait for all moving parts to stop. • Operate the engine only in well-ventilated areas. During Operation Safety Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is lethal if inhaled. General Safety • Never leave a running machine unattended. • Attach towed equipment to the machine only at • The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible • • • • • • • • • • • • for accidents that may cause personal injury or property damage.
• Keep children out of the operating area and under • Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes, the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator. ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Use extra care while operating with accessories or attachments, such as grass-collection systems. These can change the stability of the machine and cause a loss of control. Follow directions for counterweights.
Disengaging the Blade-Control Switch (PTO) • The stopping distance may increase with the weight of a towed load. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop. • Make wide turns to keep the attachment clear of the machine. Operating the Mower Blade-Control Switch (PTO) g009174 The blade-control switch (PTO) starts and stops the mower blades and any powered attachments.
Operating the Choke Starting the Engine Use the choke to start a cold engine. Note: A warm or hot engine may not require choking. 1. Pull up the choke knob to engage the choke before using the key switch (Figure 17). Important: Do not engage the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time. Engaging the starter motor for more than 5 seconds can damage the starter motor. If the engine fails to start, wait 10 seconds before operating the engine starter again. Note: Ensure that you fully engage the choke.
Driving the Machine CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. The drive wheels turn independently, powered by hydraulic motors on each axle. You can turn 1 side in reverse while you turn the other forward, causing the machine to spin rather than turn. This greatly improves the machine maneuverability but may require sometime for you to adapt to how it moves.
Driving Backward 1. Move the levers to the center, unlocked position. 2. To go backward, slowly pull the motion-control levers rearward (Figure 21). 1. Move the motion-control levers to neutral and outward to the PARK position. 2. Disengage the blade-control switch. 3. Adjust the lever to the desired position. The following are only recommendations for use. Adjustments vary by grass type, moisture content, and the height of the grass.
Using the Side Discharge Adjusting the Height of Cut The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. The machine is equipped with a foot pedal deck-lift system. You can use the foot pedal to lift the deck briefly to avoid obstacles and to raise the deck. You can adjust the height of cut from 38 to 114 mm (1-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by moving the height-of-cut pin into different hole locations.
3. Mowing at Correct Intervals Adjust the anti-scalp rollers as shown in Figure 24. Grass grows at different rates at different times of the year. To maintain the same cutting height, mow more often in early spring. As the grass growth rate slows in mid summer, mow less frequently. If you cannot mow for an extended period, first mow at a high cutting height, then mow again 2 days later at a lower height setting.
After Operation 5. After Operation Safety Turn the ignition key on and disengage the parking brake by moving 1 motion-control lever out of the PARK position. Note: Do not start the machine.
