the body if needed — safety eye glasses, gloves, earplugs, boots, hats, etc.

WARNING:

Hearing Protection is required for all operator exposure exceeding two (2) hours.

b.Ensure that the area is free of animals and bystanders, especially children!

c.Survey the area where the equipment is to be used to make sure it is free of debris, sticks, stones, wires, bones, and other for- eign objects which could cause injury to bystanders, damage to the machine, or damage to nearby facilities.

d.Inspect the machine to make sure:

1.All guards, shields (including mower chute deflector) are in their proper place, are secure, and are functional.

2.That there are no spilled or leaking fuel or oil sources, nor loose fuel or hydraulic tank caps, hoses or fittings.

3.That there are no loose or missing hard- ware nor any missing items.

4.That no non-approved devices are installed.

5.That all safety signs and decals are properly installed and legible.

e.This is a one person machine, operator only! Riders are not permitted under any circumstance!

f.To start the engine on the machine:

1.Make sure the park brake is set to the “ON” position, both lap bars are in the neutral position, and the Power Take Off (PTO also referred to as blade control switch) is in the “off” (down) position.

2.Move the choke control forward and the engine speed control (throttle) forward (half way).

3.Insert the ignition key, turn the switch toward the spring-loaded “Start” position, maintain the Start position until the engine begins to run, then release the switch (it will return to the “Run” posi- tion).

4.Retard the choke slowly by moving it rearward. If the engine is “cold”, the choke may need to be partially applied for a few minutes. Be sure to totally retard the choke after the engine has “warmed up”.

g.Check safety devices:

1.With the park brake engaged, move one of the lap bars (speed/directional control) from the neutral position toward the front of the machine — the engine should

stop running. Move the lap bars back to the neutral position and the engine should run.

2.Repeat this procedure with the opposite side lap bars.

3.With the park brake engaged and the lap bars in the neutral position, advance the engine speed control completely forward (Hi-idle), engage the PTO control switch (pull upward), then lift off the seat — the engine should stop running. Sit down and the engine should run.Turn off the PTO by pushing the control switch down.

4.With the park brake engaged and the lap bars in the neutral position, engage the PTO control switch. Pull upward on the deck folding switch — the mower deck should stop. Push downward on the deck folding switch — the mower deck should start when both sides are latched down and both switches depressed.

h.To drive in the FORWARD direction:

1.Set the engine speed to 2000 to 2500 rpm (refer to tachometer on right control panel). This must be increased to full speed (3525-3675 rpm) after becoming familiar with the machine.

2.Release the park brake.

3.Slowly, move both lap bars toward the front of the machine until the machine begins to move forward — release the lap bars and the machine should stop. The more that the lap bars are moved toward the front of the machine, the faster the machine will move in the for- ward direction. Release the lap bars and the machine should stop traveling for- ward. (This is a safety check, the normal procedure is for the operator to slowly bring the lap bars to the neutral position).

4.Do not advance the lap bars rapidly as this could cause turf defacement, loss of traction, and/or instability.

5.To turn, advance one lap bar ahead of the other and the machine will turn toward the opposite from the side that was advanced — I.E. to turn clockwise (to the Right), move the LEFT lap bar for- ward more than the right side, and to turn counter-clockwise (to the LEFT), move the RIGHT lap bar forward more than the left side. NOTE: If one lap bar is in the neutral position and the other is advanced, the turn side tire will not rotate and a “pivot turn” will be executed

— turf defacement could occur (if on grass) as well as potential damages to
