2.5 Roll-over protection system

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, attempt 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. Under no circumstances should the machine be operated on slopes greater than 15 degrees.

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.

Be cautious when loading and unloading onto trailers or trucks.

Use only a full width ramp.

Ramp angle should be no more than 15 degrees.

Back up the ramp and drive down forward.

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.

FOLDABLE Roll-over protection system (if equipped)

WARNING

Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position and the seat belt securely fastened during operation. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or loss of life.

Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary.

WARNING

There is no roll-over protection when the roll bar is in the down position.

Lower the roll bar only when absolutely necessary.

Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.

DO NOT wear the seat belt when the roll bar is in the down position.

ALWAYS wear seat belt when roll bar is in the up position.

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

Check the area carefully before mowing for proper overhead clearance (i.e. branches, doorways, etc.).

DO NOT contact any overhead object with the roll bar.

1.To lower the roll bar, loosen the tension knob on both the left hand and right hand bar. See Figure 2-1.
