RIDING MOWER

Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If riding mower requires more than four (4) feet to stop at highest speed in highest gear on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, then brake must be serviced. (See “TO ADJUST BRAKE” in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).

TIRES

•Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See PSI on tires).

•Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemicals which can harm rubber.

•Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.

AXLE AND SPINDLES

•Front wheel axles and front spindles should be properly lubricated.

•Wheel Axles should be lubricated with a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant.

•Spindles should be lubricated with a spray type silicone base lubricant.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM AND REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Be sure operator presence and reverse operation systems are working properly. If your riding mower does not function as described, repair the problem immediately.

•The engine should not start unless the brake pedal is fully depressed, and the deck clutch lever is in the disengaged position.

CHECK OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

•When the engine is running, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat without first setting the parking brake should shut off the engine.

•When the engine is running and the deck clutch lever is engaged, any attempt by the operator to leave the seat should shut off the engine.

•The deck clutch lever should never operate unless the operator is in the seat.

CHECK REVERSE OPERATION (ROS) SYSTEM

• When the engine is running with the ignition

switch in the engine "ON" position and the

deck clutch lever engaged, any attempt by

the operator to shift into reverse should

shut off the engine.

• When the engine is running with the ignition

switch in the ROS "ON" position and the

FUNCIONAMIENTO ATRÁS

Tu tractor está equipado con el Sistema de Fun- cionamiento Atrás (ROS). Cualquier tentativa del operador de viajar marcha atrás con el embrague puesto apagará el motor a menos que la llave de ignición se ponga en la posición de “ON” del ROS.

ADVERTENCIA: Ir marcha atrás con el em- brague puesto para cortar, no es recomendable. Poniendo el ROS en posición “ON”, para permitir el funcionamiento atrás con el embrague puesto, se tiene que hacer sólo cuando el operador lo considera necesario para reposicionar la má- quina con el dispositivo embragado. No siegue en revés a menos que sea absolutamente necesario.

USAR EL SISTEMA DE FUNCIONAMIENTO ATRÁS -

Utilice el tractor solamente si está seguro de que no ingresarán niños ni otras personas o animales al área donde se va a cortar el césped.

1.Mover la palanca de mando del movimiento en la posición neutro (N).

2.Con el motor en marcha, girar la llave del in- terruptor de la ignición en el sentido inverso al de las agujas del reloj hasta la posición “ON”.

3.Mire hacia abajo y hacia atrás no sólo antes de ir marcha atrás, sino mientras esté yendo marcha atrás.

4.Mover despacio la palanca de mando del movimiento hacia la posición atrás (R) para empezar el movimiento.
