MAINTENANCE

Checking the Safety System

The machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions.

The engine can only be started when:

1.The mower deck is disengaged.

2.The motion control levers are in the outer, locked neutral position.

3.The driver is sitting in the driver’s seat.

4.The parking brake is on.

Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions is not met. Change the conditions and try again.

If the machine starts when one of these conditions is not met, turn the machine off and repair the safety system before using the machine again.

Check that the engine stops if one, after having released the parking brake, temporarily stands from the driver’s seat (whether the mower deck is engaged or not).

Check that the engine stops if the mower deck is engaged and one temporarily stands up.

Check the tire pressure in all four tires. Inflation should be 16 psi.

Set anti-scalp rollers at all four corners in top hole

Set 3 1/2” blocks under the anti-scalp rollers (cutting edge of blade should be at 4 1/4”.

Position stop in 4 1/4” hole and lower lever onto pin.

Adjust lower end of all four chains in slots on deck weldment so they are just tight.
