Safety System; Parking Brake; Tire Pressures - Poulan Pro 541ZX Operator's Manual

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 steering controls are in the outer, locked neutral
position.
3. 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.
Make sure the engine stops when the park brake is not
engaged and the operator leaves the seated position.
Check that the engine stops if the mower blades are engaged
and the driver temporarily moves off the drivers seat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION In order to be able to drive,
the driver must sit in the seat and release the parking
brake before the steering controls can be moved into the
neutral position, otherwise the engine will stop.
MAINTENANCE

Parking Brake

Visually check that no damage is found on the lever, cables, or
switch belonging to the parking brake. Perform a standstill test
and check that there is sufficient braking action.
To adjust the parking brake, contact the Poulan Pro service
workshop.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine must be
absolutely standing still when applying the parking brake.
WARNING! Faulty adjustment will result in reduced
braking ability and can cause an accident.

Tire Pressures

All tires should be at 15 psi / 103 kPa / 1 bar.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION DO NOT add any type of
tire liner or foam fill material to the tires. Excessive loads
created by foam filled tires will cause premature failures.
Only use O.E.M. specified tires.
