DANGER
DO NOT run the engine inside a building or
a confined area without proper ventilation.
Exhaust fumes are hazardous and contain
carbon monoxide which can cause brain injury
and death.
18.
Keep hands and feet away from cutter blades and
moving parts. Contact can injure.
19.
Transport the mower using a heavy duty trailer
or truck. Insure the trailer or truck has all of the
necessary lighting and markings as required by
laws, codes, and ordinances. Secure a trailer with a
safety chain.
20.
Be cautious when loading and unloading onto
trailers or trucks. Use only a full width ramp. Ramp
angle should be no more than 15 degrees. Back up
the ramp and drive down forward.
21.
When transporting the mower, make sure the park
brake is engaged, the steering control levers are in
the neutral position, the engine is off with the key
removed, and the wheels have been blocked.
22.
Tie the mower down securely using straps, chains,
cable, or ropes. Both front and rear straps must be
directed down and outward from machine.
23.
Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
24.
NEVER leave the machine running unattended.

ROLL-OvER PROTECTION SYSTEM
WARNING
The seat belt must be securely fastened during
operation. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or loss of life.
This mower has been designed for good traction and
stability under normal mowing conditions. However, caution
must be used when traveling on slopes, especially when the
grass is wet. Do not mow on wet grass. Wet grass reduces
traction and steering control.
Any or all parts of the Roll-Over Protection System MUST
NOT be removed. Failure to adhere to this guideline could
result in injury or death.
The potential exposure of the seat belt to severe
environmental conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat
belt system regularly.
It is recommended that the seat belt be inspected on a
daily basis for signs of damage. Any seat belt system that
shows cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear, significant
discoloration due to UV exposure, dirt or stiffness, abrasion
to the seat belt webbing, or damage to the buckle, latch
plate, hardware or any other obvious problem should be
replaced immediately.
WARNING
Failure to properly inspect and maintain the seat
belt can cause serious injury or loss of life.
1.
Check the full length of the seat belt webbing for
cuts, wear, fraying, dirt and stiffness. See Figure 2-1.
2.
Check the seat belt webbing in areas exposed to
ultra violet rays from the sun or extreme dust or
dirt. If the original color of the webbing in these
areas is extremely faded and/or is packed with dirt,
the physical strength of this webbing may have
deteriorated. If this condition exists, replace the seat
belt system.
3.
Check the buckle and latch for proper operation
and determine if the latch plate is excessively worn,
deformed, or if the buckle is damaged or cracked.
See Figure 2-1.
