Section 2

This mower has been designed for good traction and stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.

Any or all parts of the Roll Over Protection System MUST NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could result in injury or death.

The potential exposure of this seat belt to severe enviromental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat belt system regularly.

It is recommended that the seat belt be inspected on a daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness, abrasion to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch plate, hardware or any other obvious problem should be replaced immediately.

WARNING:

Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat belt can cause serious injury or loss of life.

1.Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-1.

2.Check the seat belt webbing in areas exposed to ultra violet rays from the sun or extreme dust or dirt. If the original color of the webbing in these areas is extremely faded and/or is packed with dirt, the physical strength of this webbing may have deteriorated. If this condition exists, replace the seat belt system.

3.Check the buckle and latch for proper operation and determine if the latch plate is exessively worn, deformed, or of the buckle is damaged or cracked. See Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Seat Belt Inspection

WARNING:

Reduce speed when turning, operating on slopes, slick or wet surfaces. Allow extra distance to stop.

Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. To check a slope, attemp to back up it (with the cutter deck down). If the machine can not back up the slope without the wheels slipping, do not operate the machine on this slope.

ALWAYS travel up or down the slope whenever possible. Never across the slope.

DO NOT mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge caves in.

Operate the machine smoothly, no sudden turns, starts or stops on a slope.

NEVER tow on slopes. The weight of the towed equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of control.

DO NOT permit untrained personnel to operate the machine.
