Breaking in a New Machine
New engines take time to develop full power. Mower
decks and drive systems have higher friction when
new, placing additional load on the engine. Allow
40 to 50 hours of break-in time for new machines to
develop full power and best performance.
Using the
Rollover-Protection System
(ROPS)
WARNING
To avoid injury or death from rollover, keep
the roll bar in the fully raised, locked position
and use the seat belt.
Ensure that the seat is secured to the
machine.
WARNING
There is no rollover protection when the roll
bar is in the down position.
• Lower the roll bar only when absolutely
necessary.
• Do not wear the seat belt when the roll bar
is in the down position.
• Drive slowly and carefully.
• Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance
permits.
• Check carefully for overhead clearances
(i.e., branches, doorways, electrical wires)
before driving under any objects and do
not contact them.
