CAUTON

If the operator is inexperienced with the zero turn mower lever steering/speed control, he/she should follow these recommendations: Disengage the mower blades. Go very slowly until thoroughly familiar with the machine. Keep away from fences, buildings, and other obstruc- tions. While becoming familiar with the machine, move the Control Levers smoothly and slowly. Practice until operation is smooth and efficient.

10.A roll-over protection system (ROPS) is installed on your machine. Operate unit with the ROPS in the raised and locked position and use seat belt. There is no roll-over protection when the ROPS is down. If it is necessary to lower the ROPS, do not wear seat belt. Raise the ROPS as soon as clearance permits.

WARNING

To turn on a zero radius axis, go slowly and pull one Control Lever back and push the other

Control Lever forward, depending on which direction you wish to turn.

WARNING

AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH:

DO NOT MOVE STEERING LEVERS FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE OR REVERSE TO FORWARD POSITION RAPIDLY. A SUDDEN CHANGE IN DIRECTION MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. FOR SMOOTH, SAFE OPERATION, MOVE THE CONTROL LEVERS IN A GENTLE, SLOW MOTION, ESPECIALLY ON GRADES.

12.BRAKING: To brake mower, gently move Control Levers in the direction opposite to travel. If the parking brake is engaged with the Control Levers in the “IN” position the engine will stop.
