ROTATING BLADES ARE DANGEROUS!

HELP PREVENT SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENTS:

•

•

•

•

•

•

Rotating blades can cut off arms and legs, and throw objects. Failure to observe safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

Keep hands, feet and clothing away from mower deck when engine is running.

Be alert at all times, drive forward carefully. People, especially children can move quickly into the mowing area before you know it.

Do not mow in reverse.

Shut off blades when you are not mowing.

Park machine safely before leaving the operator station for any reason including emptying the catchers or unplugging the chute.

PROTECT CHILDREN!

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Death or serious injury can occur when young children associate having fun with a lawn mowing machine simply because someone has given them a ride on a machine.

Children are attracted to lawn mowing machines and mowing activities. They don’t understand the dangers of rotating blades or the fact that the operator is unaware of their presence.

Children who have been given rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.

Tragic accidents with children can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children, especially when a child approaches a machine from behind. Before and while backing up, stop mower blades and look down and behind the machine carefully, especially for children.

Never carry children on a machine or attachment, even with the blades off. Do not tow children in a cart or trailer. They can fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

Never use the machine as a recreational vehicle or to entertain children.

Never allow children or an untrained person operate the machine. Instruct all operators not to give children a ride on the machine or in an attachment.

Keep children indoors, out of the mowing area, and in the watchful eye of a responsible adult, other than the operator, when a mower is being operated.

Stay alert to the presence of children. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Turn the machine off if a child enters the work area.

Avoid Tipping

•

•

•

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution.

Mow across slopes, not up and down.

Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

Tall grass can hide obstacles.

SAFETY - 6

SAFETY

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to stop or shift while on a slope.

Do not mow or operate machine on wet grass. Tires may lose traction. • • • Tires may lose traction on slopes even though the brakes are functioning properly.

Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly, straight down the slope.

Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.

Use extra care while operating machine with grasscatchers or other attachments, they can affect stability of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes.

Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, or bodies of water. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights for added stability when operating on slopes or using front or rear mounted attachments. Remove weights when not required.

Drive machine very slowly and avoid quick stops when attachment is removed.

Transport machine with decks lowered to improve stability.

•

•

•

Keep Riders Off

Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.

Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck by foreign objects or thrown off the machine causing serious injury.

Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.

•

•

•

•

•

Avoid High Pressure Fluids

Hydraulic hoses and lines can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses and lines regularly. Replace damaged hoses and lines.

Hydraulic fl uid connections can loosen due to physical damage and vibration. Check connections regularly.

Tighten loose connections.

Escaping fl uid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.

Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fl uids.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fl uid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.

•

•

Checking Wheel Hardware

A serious accident could occur causing serious injury if wheel hardware is not tight.

Check wheel hardware tightness often during the fi rst

•

100 hours of operation.

Wheel hardware must be tightened to specifi ed torque using the proper procedure anytime it is loosened.

•

•

•

•

Wear Appropriate Clothing

Always wear safety goggles, or safety glasses with side shields, and a hard hat when operating the machine.

Wear close fi tting clothing and safety equipment appropriate for the job.

While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

Empty the grass catcher completely before storing.

Always shut off fuel when storing or transporting machine, if the machine has a fuel shutoff.

Do not store machine near an open fl ame or source of ignition, such as a water heater or furnace.

Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fi ttings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

Tire Safety

•

•

•

•

Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death:

Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not infl ate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.

Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

When infl ating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and

NOT in front of or over the tire assembly.

Check tires for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Handling Fuel Safely

•

•

•

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling fuel. Fuel is extremely fl am-

• mable and fuel vapors are explosive:

Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition.

Use only an approved fuel container. Use only nonmetal, portable fuel containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (U.L.) or the American Society for

Testing & Materials (ASTM). If using a funnel, make sure it is plastic and has no screen or fi lter.

Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow engine to cool before refueling.

Never add fuel to or drain fuel from the machine indoors. Move machine outdoors and provide adequate ventilation.

Clean up spilled fuel immediately. If fuel is spilled on

•

•

•

•

•

Remove fuel-powered equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel such equipment with a portable container, rather than from a fuel dispenser nozzle.

Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container opening at all times until the fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

Never overfi ll fuel tank. Replace fuel tank cap and tighten securely.

Replace all fuel container caps securely after use.

For gasoline engines, do not use gas with methanol.

Methanol is harmful to your health and to the environment.

octane or higher. Fuel blends containing up to 10% ethanol or up to 15% MTBE reformulated fuel are acceptable. Do not use fuel or additives containing methanol as engine damage can occur.

Always use fresh, clean fuel that is purchased in a quantity that can be used within approximately 30 days, or add fuel stabilizer.

Fuel is blended to give best seasonal performance. To avoid engine performance problems such as hard starting or vapor lock, use in-season fuel. Use fuel during warm weather that was purchased during that season, and use fuel during cold weather that was purchased during that season.

!

2.

Remove the OPC plate covering the operator presence switch by removing the two 3/8-16n1.25 carriage bolts securing it in place.

Carefully cut the wire tie securing the harness to the plate.

Fuel can become stale in machines with engines that are used seasonally or infrequently during a season. Stale fuel can produce varnish and plug carburetor components which can affect engine performance.

Keep fuel storage container tightly covered and in a cool area out of direct sunlight. Fuel can break down and degrade if not sealed properly or exposed to sun and heat.

Condensation may collect in the fuel tank because of a variety of operating or environmental conditions and, over time, may affect your machine’s operation. Fill fuel tank at the end of daily use and store fuel in plastic containers to reduce condensation.

For best year-round performance and fuel-handling, add stabilizer to fuel immediately after fuel purchase. Such practice helps prevent engine performance problems and allows fuel storage in the machine all year without draining.

Storing Safety

Engine:

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Fuel vapors are explosive and fl ammable. Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death:

Run the engine only long enough to move the machine to or from storage.

Do not store vehicle with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open fl ame or spark.

Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in any enclosure.

1.

2.

Change engine oil and fi lter while engine is warm.

Service air fi lter if necessary.

Clean debris from engine air intake screen.

On gas engines:

Remove spark plugs. Put 30 mL (1 oz) of clean engine oil in cylinders.

•

• Install spark plugs, but do not connect spark plug wires.

Crank the engine fi ve or six times to allow oil to be distributed.

Clean the engine and engine compartment.

5.

6.

7.

Remove battery.

Clean the battery and battery posts. Check the electrolyte level, if your battery is not maintenance free.

Close fuel shut-off valve, if your machine is equipped.

8.

9.

Store the battery in a cool, dry place where it will not freeze.

NOTE: The stored battery should be recharged every 90 days.

10.

Charge the battery.

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Prolonged exposure to sunlight could damage the hood surface. Store machine inside or use a cover if stored outside.

11.

Store the vehicle in a dry, protected place. If vehicle is stored outside, put a waterproof cover over it.

Preparing Fuel and Engine For Storage

Fuel:

If you have been using “Stabilized Fuel,” add stabilized fuel to tank until the tank is full.

NOTE: Filling the fuel tank reduces the amount of air in the fuel tank and helps reduce deterioration of fuel.

If you are not using “Stabilized Fuel:”

1.

Park machine safely in a well-ventilated area. (See

Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

Removing Machine From Storage

1.

2.

3.

Check tire pressure.

Check engine oil level.

Check battery electrolyte level, if your battery is not maintenance free. Charge battery if necessary.

NOTE: Try to anticipate the last time the machine will be used for the season so very little fuel is left in the fuel tank.

2.

Turn on engine and allow to run until it runs out of fuel.

3.

For machines equipped with key switch, turn key to off position.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Install battery.

On gas engines: Check spark plug gap. Install and tighten plugs to specifi ed torque.

Lubricate all grease points.

Open fuel shut-off valve, if your machine is equipped.

Run the engine 5 minutes without the mower or any attachments running to allow oil to be distributed throughout engine.

9.

Be sure all shields and guards or defl ectors are in place.

IMPORTANT: Avoid Damage! Stale fuel can produce varnish and plug carburetor or injector components and affect engine performance.
