Do Not leave a running machine unattended. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop: – Before refueling. – Before dumping the grass catcher. – Before making height adjustments. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Rollover Protection System (ROPS) Safety Pre-Start Fill fuel tank on level ground. See Fuel Recommendations in the Specifications section for additional diesel information. A Rollover Protection System (roll bar) is installed on the machine. Do Not overfill fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space in the tank allows fuel to expand. Overfilling may result in fuel leakage or damage to the engine or emission system.
Engaging the Blade-Control Switch (PTO) Operating the Parking Brake Note: Engaging the blade-control switch (PTO) with the throttle position at half or less causes excessive wear to the drive belts. Always engage the parking brake when you stop the machine or leave it unattended. Engaging the Parking Brake Park the machine on a level surface.
Starting the Engine Shutting Off the Engine Important: Do not engage the starter for more CAUTION than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, wait 15 seconds between attempts. Failure to follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor. Children or bystanders may be injured if they move or attempt to operate the machine while it is unattended. Note: You may need multiple attempts to start the Always remove the key and engage the parking brake when leaving the machine unattended.
Driving the Machine Using the Motion-Control Levers 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 some time for you to adapt to how it moves. The throttle control regulates the engine speed as measured in rpm (revolutions per minute).
Driving Backward 1. Move the levers to the center, unlocked position. 2. To go backward, slowly pull the motion-control levers rearward (Figure 23).
Using the Side Discharge Adjusting the Height of Cut Machines with Side Discharge Only Adjust the height of cut from 25 to 140 mm (1 to 5-1/2 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by moving the clevis pin into different hole locations. The mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses clippings to the side and down toward the turf. DANGER Without a grass deflector, discharge cover, or a complete grass-catcher assembly mounted in place, you and others are exposed to blade contact and thrown debris.
Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers For maximum deck flotation, install the rollers 1 hole position lower. Rollers should maintain a 6 mm (1/4 inch) clearance to the ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the deck. 1. Park the machine on a level surface. 2. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move the motion-control levers to the NEUTRAL-LOCK position, and engage the parking brake. 3.
6. If the cam locks do not lock the baffle into place or it is too tight, loosen the lever and then rotate the cam lock. Note: Adjust the cam lock until the desired locking pressure is achieved. g227783 g027727 Figure 28 Rear Discharge Machines 1. Bolt 3. Anti-scalp roller 2. Bushing 4. Flange nut 5. For side discharge machines, torque the flange nut to 68 to 75 N∙m (50 to 55 ft-lb). 6. For rear discharge machines, torque the flange nut to 41 to 47 N∙m (30 to 35 ft-lb).
