Operating

Safety Instructions

6.Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could get caught in moving parts. Do not operate this machine while wearing shorts; always wear adequate protective clothing, including long pants. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes, and a helmet is advisable and required by some local ordinances and insurance regulations.

7.Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause im- pairment or loss of hearing. Operator hearing protection is recommended; particularly for continuous operation of the GHS Model due to blower noise level. Wear a suitable hearing pro- tective device, such as earmuffs or earplugs.

8.Keep all protective shields and safety de- vices in place. If a protective shield, safety device, or decal is damaged, unusable, or miss- ing, repair or replace it before operating the machine.

9.Be sure interlock switches are functioning correctly, so the engine cannot be started un- less the Forward Speed Control lever is in the NEUTRAL-PARK position, and the PTO clutch is in the DISENGAGED position. Also, the en- gine should stop if the operator lifts off the seat with the PTO clutch in the ENGAGED position.

10.Handle gasoline with care. Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive:

a.Use an approved fuel container.

b.Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine (allow hot engine to cool several minutes).

c.Keep matches, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, open flames, or sparks away from the fuel tank and fuel container.

d.Always fill the fuel tank outdoors using care. Fill to about one inch from the top of the tank. Use a funnel or spout to prevent spilling.

e.Replace the machine fuel cap and container cap securely and clean up any spilled fuel before starting the engine.

11.Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where spe- cifically instructed to do so.

12.The electrical system battery contains sulfuric acid. Avoid any contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Keep the battery and acid out of reach of children.

1.Operate the mower only in daylight or in good artificial light with good visibility of the area being mowed.

2.Sit on the seat when starting the engine and operating the machine. Keep feet on the deck footrests at all times when the tractor is moving and/or mower blades are operating.

3.For a beginning operator, learn to steer (ma- neuver) the tractor with a slow engine speed before attempting any mowing operation. Be aware that, with the front mounted mower con- figuration, the back of the tractor swings to the outside during turns.

4.Remember, for an emergency stop, the forward motion of the tractor can always be stopped by pulling the Forward Speed Control (FSC) into the NEUTRAL-PARKposition.

5.Disengage the blade clutch and put the FSC in the NEUTRAL-PARKposition before starting the engine (an ignition interlock switch normally prevents starting of the machine if these con- trols are in the OPERATING position).

6.Do not run the engine in a confined area with- out adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes are hazardous and can be deadly.

7.Do not carry passengers - maximum seating capacity is one (1) person.

8.Watch for holes, rocks, and roots in the terrain and for other hidden hazards. When mowing tall grass, mow higher than desired to expose any hidden obstacles. Then, clean the area and mow to the desired height.

9.Avoid sudden starts or stops. Before backing the machine up, look to the rear to be sure no one is behind the machine. Watch carefully for traffic when crossing or working near roadways.
