General Safety
•
Park machine on level ground, disengage drives,
set parking brake, stop engine, remove key or
disconnect spark plug wire. Wait for all movement
to stop and allow the machine to cool before
adjusting, cleaning, repairing, or storing. Never
allow untrained personnel to service machine.
•
Clean the machine as stated in the Maintenance
section. Keep engine and engine area free from
accumulation of grass, leaves, excessive grease
or oil, and other debris which can accumulate
in these areas. These materials can become
combustible and may result in a fire.
•
Frequently check for worn or deteriorating
components that could create a hazard. Tighten
loose hardware.
Using the Fuel-Shutoff
Valve
The fuel-shutoff valve is located under the seat. Move
the seat forward to access it.
Close the fuel-shutoff valve for transport, maintenance,
and storage.
Ensure that the fuel-shutoff valve is open when
starting the engine.

Using the
Drive-Wheel-Release
Valves
WARNING
Hands may become entangled in the rotating
drive components below the engine deck,
which could result in serious injury.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and allow
all moving parts to stop before accessing the
drive-wheel-release valves.
WARNING
The engine and hydraulic-drive units can
become very hot. Touching a hot engine or
hydraulic-drive units can cause severe burns.
Allow the engine and hydraulic-drive units
to cool completely before accessing the
drive-wheel-release valves.
The drive-wheel-release valves are located in the
back of each hydraulic-drive unit, under the seat.
Note:
Make sure that the release valves are in the
fully horizontal position when operating the machine;
otherwise, severe damage to the hydraulic system
can occur.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and engage the parking
brake.
2.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3.
Rotate the release-valve levers vertically to push
the machine
(Figure
Note:
This allows hydraulic fluid to bypass the
pump, enabling the wheels to turn.
4.
Disengage the parking brake before pushing
the machine.
