Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. 2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. 3. Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. 4. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. 5. Do not carry passengers. 6. All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such instruction should emphasize: a. the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on machines; b. control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake. The main reasons for loss of control are: · · · · · · insufficient wheel grip; being driven too fast; inadequate braking; the type of machine is unsuitable for its task; lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes; incorrect hitching and load distribution. en d. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated e. Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely. 4. Replace faulty silencers. 5. Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance. 6. On multi-blade machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. Operation 1. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. 2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. 3. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral. 4. Do not use on slopes of more than 10 degrees. 5. Remember there is no such thing as a "safe" slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning: a. do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill; b. engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear, especially when travelling downhill; c. machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and during tight turns; Preparation 1. While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals. 2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment will be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine. 3. WARNING-Petrol is highly flammable. a. Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. b. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling. c. Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. d. stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden hazards; e. never mow across the face of the slope, unless the mower is designed for this purpose. 6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment. a. Use only approved drawbar hitch points. b. Limit loads to those you can safely control. c. Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing. d. Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when suggested in the Instruction Book. 7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways. 8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other than grass. 7 Safe Operation Practices 9. When using any attachments, never direct discharge of material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation. 10. Never operate the mower with defective guards or shields, or without safety protective devices in place. 11. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury. 12. Before leaving the operator's position a. disengage the power take-off and lower the attachments; b. change into neutral and set the parking brake; c. stop the engine and remove the key. 13. Disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s) or remove the ignition key a. before cleaning blockages or unclogging chute; b. before checking, cleaning or working on the mower; c. after striking a foreign object. Inspect the mower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the equipment; en 16. Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing. 17. Before and when backing, look behind and down for small children. 18. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees or other objects that may obscure vision. Maintenance and Storage 1. On multi-blade machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. 2. When machine will be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used. 3. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. 4. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. 5. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. 6. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. 7. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration. 8. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. 9. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors. d. if the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately). 14. Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or not in use. 15. Stop the engine and disengage drive to attachment a. before refuelling; b. before removing the grass catcher; c. before making height adjustment unless adjustment can be made from the operator's position. 8 Assembly All fasteners are in the parts bag. Do not discard any parts or material until the unit is assembled. en 1. Raise the front of the tractor. Set a support (block of wood) under the tractor. 2. Make sure the valve stem (2) is to the outside of the tractor. Slide the front wheel (1) on the spindle (3). 3. Fasten each front wheel with washer (4), washer (7) and cotter pin (5). Bend the ends of the cotter pin apart to keep the front wheel on the spindle. 4. After the front wheels are installed, lift the tractor from the support. Roll the tractor off of the container. 5. If your tractor has hub caps (6), install the hub caps. Make sure the washers hold the hub caps in place. WARNING Before doing any assembly or maintenance to the mower, remove the wire from the spark plug. NOTE: In this instruction book, left and right describe the location of a part with the operator on the seat. Install the Front Wheels Use a knife and cut the four sides of the container. Install the front wheels (1) in the container (see Figure 1). NOTE: Use a piece of wood about 4 feet (1.25 meters) long to raise the front of the tractor. If a piece of wood cannot be found, get another person to help lift the tractor. Be careful, do not let the tractor fall. 7 5 6 (30x49) (17x195) Check the Tires Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air pressure will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure is: Front Tires 0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear Tires 0,69 BAR (10 PSI). The tires were over inflated for shipment. 4 (17x192) 3 1 2 Figure 1 9 Assembly Assemble the Mower Housing 1.
